Arrange the electrons represented by the following sets of quantum numbers in the decreasing order of energy.
$(i) \ n = 4, l = 0, m_l = 0, m_s = +\frac{1}{2}$
$(ii) \ n = 3, l = 1, m_l = 1, m_s = -\frac{1}{2}$
$(iii) \ n = 3, l = 2, m_l = 0, m_s = +\frac{1}{2}$
$(iv) \ n = 3, l = 0, m_l = 0, m_s = -\frac{1}{2}$

  • A
    $(ii) < (i) < (iii) < (iv)$
  • B
    $(iii) < (i) < (ii) < (iv)$
  • C
    $(iii) > (i) > (ii) > (iv)$
  • D
    $(iv) > (ii) > (i) > (iii)$
