s orbitals are spherical, so there cannot be any angle 'between' an s orbital and a p orbital. However, each lobe of a p orbital is perpendicular (90 degrees in all directions) to the surface of an s orbital.

What does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
the s orbital is lower in energy than the p orbital
What types of atomic orbitals are in the second principal energy level?
An s orbital
What is penetration effect?
Electron in s-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in p-orbital and electron in p-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in d-orbital and so on. So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
What sublevels are contained in the hydrogen atom's first four energy levels?
The four sublevels encountered in the elements are s, p, d, f.The number of orbitals in each level are s, one; p, three, d ,five; f, 7.
What does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
the s orbital is lower in energy than the p orbital
Are the s and p orbitals of the noble gases are always empty?
No. Helium is the only noble gas to have an empty p-orbital, and has one full s-orbital. The rest all have at least one of each orbital full.
Why is the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
The s orbital fills before the p orbital because it has lower energy, and is more stable.
How many atomic orbitals must be mixed to make the sp2 hybrid orbital?
five atomic orbitals must be mixed into one ; one s orbital; three p orbital; one d orbital, forming sp3d orbital
When an s orbital hybridizes with one p orbital what is the angle between the resulting orbitals?
120 degrees
What types of atomic orbitals are in the second principal energy level?
An s orbital
Whose electron affinite is large s orbital or p?
s-orbital more affinity to electrons than p when 'empty'
Why does the s orbital before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.

So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
It has a lower energy level. All else being equal, electrons tend to go into the lowest energy orbital with space available.
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
What is the Fullform of s-orbital p-orbital d-orbital and f-orbital?
The orbital names s, p, d, and fstand for names given to groups of lines in the spectra of the alkali metals. These line groups are called sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental.
