Which of the following is not a correct statement regarding the energies of orbitals?

  • A
    The lower the value of $(n + \ell)$ for an orbital,lower is its energy.
  • B
    Energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decrease with an increase in atomic number.
  • C
    Energy of $s$-orbital is lower than $p$-orbital and energy of $p$-orbital is less than that of $d$-orbital.
  • D
    If two orbitals have the same value for $(n + \ell)$,then the orbital with the higher value of $n$ will have lower energy.
