It has a lower energy level. All else being equal, electrons tend to go into the lowest energy orbital with space available.

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.
Why does the s orbitals fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
Why does an s orbital fill before a p orbital?
In general, electrons fill up different positions in such a way that they are in the lowest possible energy level. The orbitals closer to the nucleus have a lower energy level than the ones which are further out.
Why does the s orbital 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.
What does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?

The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
Whose electron affinite is large s orbital or p?
s-orbital more affinity to electrons than p when 'empty'
Combination of one s orbital with one p orbital?
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 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 types of atomic orbitals are in the second principal energy level?
An s orbital
Maximum number of electrons in 3p orbital?
The max. number of electrons that can fill the 3s orbital is 2.
