Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

1. True. For ionization, . Hence

2. False. The ionization energy increases in proportion to the square of the positive charge in the nucleus as is evident from the expression

3. False. The correct expression is

False. For a multi-electron atom, the energy of an orbital depends on both principal and azimuthal quantum numbers. The larger the value of , the larger the energy. For the same value of  the larger the value of , the larger the energy
