Detailed Solution
(a) Electrons in 2s and 2p orbitals have different screening effect.Hence, their Zeff is different.Zeff of 2s orbital> Zeff of Z p orbitalTherefore, it is not correct.(b) Energy of 2s orbital < energy of 2p orbitalHence, it is not correct.(c) Zeff of ls orbital ≠ Zeff of 2s orbitalHence, it is incorrect.(d) For the two electrons of 2s orbital, the value of ms is +12 and -12. Hence, it is correct
