Energy levels
Does the d orbital of an n=4 shell have a higher energy level than the p orbital of an n=5 even though it is filled before the p orbital?

Re: Energy levels
I believe the 4d orbital has a higher energy level than the 5s orbital, but not the 5p orbital. The graph I linked below might be helpful. https://webs.anokaramsey.edu/chemistry/ ... iagram.PDF

Re: Energy levels
The 4d orbital does have a higher energy level than the 5s orbital. Higher principal quantum numbers aren't necessarily always associated with higher energy levels, such as this case of 4d vs. 5s.
