Electron in the orbital Electron closer to the nucleus Explanation
1s or 3s 1s Since l is same and value of n is smaller in case of 1s.
2p or 4p 2p Since l is same and value of n is smaller in case of 2p.
3d or 4d 3d Since l is same and value of n is smaller in case of 3d.
Subshell Legitimate? Explanation
5p

Yes

n=5,l=1 and l
4s Yes n=4,l=0 and l
2f

No

Corrections: 4f

n=4, l=3

n=2, l=3, l>n

which is not possible

1p

No

Corrections: 2p

n=2, l=1

n=1, l=1, l=n

which is not possible!
