An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.

∙ 11y agoAn electron in the 4p orbital is, on average, further away from the nucleus than an electron in the 3p orbital.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoAn electron in the 3p orbital has a higher energy. Because of the fact that 3p is farther to the nucleus comparing to s1.

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.
The region outside the nucleus where an electron can most probably be found is?
The region outside the nucleus where electrons can most probably be found is called the Atomic Orbital. The Atomic Orbital is also known as the Electron Cloud.
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus best represents what?
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus would best represent an s orbital. A maximum of 2 electrons can occupy an orbital.
An electron in an orbital that penetrates closer to the nucleus will always experience more shielding than an electron in an orbital that does not penetrate as far?
False
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"

What does electron orbital describe?
An electron orbital describes the most probable region that an electron occupies outside the nucleus

Are electron located in orbital around the nucleus?
Yes.
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus best represents what?
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus would best represent an s orbital. A maximum of 2 electrons can occupy an orbital.
An electron in an orbital that penetrates closer to the nucleus will always experience more shielding than an electron in an orbital that does not penetrate as far?
False
Which orbital gives an electron the greatest probability of being found close to nucleus?
The 1s 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"
When 2s orbitals combine around the nucleus what bond is formed?
The 2s orbital looks much like the 1s orbital except that the electron is more likely to be found further from the nucleus. The bonds that are formed are called the Sp3 bond and the Sp2 bond.
True or false the greater the distance of an electron from the nucleus the less energy it has?
Electrons exist in orbitals around the nucleus of an atom. It takes energy to knock an electron from the orbital it is in to an orbital a greater distance from the nucleus. The electron gives off energy when it falls closer to the nucleus. A Danish Scientist named Niels Bohr figured it out.
In an s orbital the probability of finding an electron a particular distance from the nucleus does NOT depend on?
Direction with respect to the nucleus
The atomic radius to the distance from the nucleus of an atom to?
The atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost orbital of electron.
