Which one of the following orbitals is lowest in energy in a Li2+ ion?
37s
12p z
2d x^2-y^2
5f xyz
4d xz
attempt on solution:
n=3
l=can be n-1
ml=-l to + l
Therefore the lowest energy is
I suppose the answer is 12p z? since the l can be any number smaller than 3 until zero. I am not sure, but the answer is 4d xz
