    The document explains the n + l rule, also known as the Wise-Wesser rule, which determines the order in which orbitals are filled with electrons. The rule has two parts: 1) Electrons will fill orbitals with the lowest n + l value first. 2) If n + l values are the same, electrons will fill the orbital with the lowest n value first. Examples are provided to illustrate both parts of the rule when determining whether an electron will fill the 3d, 3p, or 4s orbital first.

    n + l values

    Q) Find n+l value of following orbital


    Orbital “l” value
    5d s
    p
    3d d
    f
    4s

    5s

    3f

    2p

    n + l Rule/ Wise-Wesser Rule:s


    This law consists of two parts:

    First Part:

    “Electron will first enter in those orbital which has the least value of n + l .”

    Example:

    Orbital n value l value n + l value


    3d 3 2 3+2 = 5
    3p 3 1 3+1 =4

    Hence, electron will enter first in 3p orbital as its n+l value is less than n+l value of 3d.

    Second Part:

    “If the n+l value of two orbital are same then electron will first enter in that orbital which has least
    value of n.”

    Orbital n value l value n + l value


    4s 4 0 4+0 = 4
    3p 3 1 3+1 =4

    Hence, electron will enter first in 3p orbital because its n value is less than that of 4s.
