Questions
  1. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    In hydrogen, all orbitals in a given shell have the same energy.
  2. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    He⁺ and Li²⁺ behave like hydrogen in this respect.
  3. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    In a multi-electron atom, orbital energy depends on n and l.
  4. Statement is true
    No
    Statement
    A higher (n + l) value means lower energy.
  5. Statement is true
    Yes
    Statement
    For equal (n + l), the lower n has the lower energy.
Hydrogen-like systems behave differently from multi-electron atoms, which is the point of the (n + l) rule. Source: syllabus Chemistry Part I, Ch 2 Structure of Atom.
