The 2s orbital and 3s orbital both have the same spherical shape and can hold a maximum of two electrons of opposite spin. They only differ because the 3s orbital is further out from the nucleus than the 2s orbital, thus the 3s orbital has a higher energy value.

What is associated with more energy a 2s or a 3s orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
How Many Electrons Can Be Found In S Orbital?
Two per level (that is, 2 1s, 2 2s, 2 3s, etc.)
The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that?
the 2s orbital is at a higher energy level
In what atoms is the 2s orbital closest to the nucleus?
The electrons in the 2p subshell have more energy than those in the 2s subshell, that is energy per electron.See Wikipedia 'Electron Shells' for more on this subject.
How many outer orbital electrons are found in Sodium?
All of 11 electrons in sodium are in different electron orbitals: 2 electrons are in 1s orbital, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p and 1 in the 3s orbital. (This last one is the so-called valence electron)
What is associated with more energy a 2s or a 3s orbital?

What is the difference between a 2s orbital and a 3s orbital?
The number preceding the name of a sublevel ("s") indicates in which electron shell it belongs. Thusly, 2s is the second shell and 3s is the third.
How Many Electrons Can Be Found In S Orbital?
Two per level (that is, 2 1s, 2 2s, 2 3s, etc.)
The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that?
the 2s orbital is at a higher energy level
How many orbitals in a phosphorus atom?
There are 9 occupied orbitals in a phosphorus atom's ground state: one 1s orbital, one 2s orbital, three 2p orbitals, one 3s orbital, and three 3p orbitals.
How a 1s orbital different from a 2s orbital in terms of size?
The 2s orbital is larger than the 1s orbital and is higher in energy.
Is 97 in the 3s 5s or 2s?
NO
In what atoms is the 2s orbital closest to the nucleus?
The electrons in the 2p subshell have more energy than those in the 2s subshell, that is energy per electron.See Wikipedia 'Electron Shells' for more on this subject.
How many electrons are in the 3s orbital of magnesium?
The are two electrons in the 3s orbital of magnesium (Mg.)
How many outer orbital electrons are found in Sodium?
All of 11 electrons in sodium are in different electron orbitals: 2 electrons are in 1s orbital, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p and 1 in the 3s orbital. (This last one is the so-called valence electron)
How do you simplify 7-2s plus 4 plus 5s?
7-2s+4+5s ..... Okay first you combine like terms(add the like terms)..so its going to be 11+3s I did 7+4=11 then -2s+5s=3s So the answer can be 11+3s or 3s+11
What is the perpendicular bisector equation joining the points of s 2s and 3s 8s on the Cartesian plane showing work?
Points: (s, 2s) and (3s, 8s) Slope: (8s-2s)/(3s-s) = 6s/2s = 3 Perpendicular slope: -1/3 Midpoint: (s+3s)/2 and (2s+8s)/2 = (2s, 5s) Equation: y-5s = -1/3(x-2s) => 3y-15s = -1(x-2s) => 3y = -x+17x Perpendicular bisector equation in its general form: x+3y-17s = 0
