The 4s subshell should appear before the 3d subshell. The 3p subshell should have more than 6 electrons. The 3d subshell can hold only 8 electrons. The 4d subshell should receive electrons before the 4p subshell.

Explanation / Answer

A) The 4s subshell should appear before the 3d subshell.

B) The 4s subshell is at lower energy than the 3d subshell.

C) 1S2 < 2S2 < 2p6

D) 1S2 < 2S2 < 2p6 < 3S2 < 3p6 < 4S2 < 3d10 < 4p6
