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.
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
The 3s orbital differs from 2s orbital in that it is?
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.
How does 2s orbital differ from a 1s orbital?
1s and 2s orbitals differ in that 2s orbitals lie farther away from the nucleus in the next principle energy level. Other than that, they occupy the same shape of orbital, spherical, as indicated by the s.
What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.

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.
The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that?
the 2s orbital is at a higher energy level
What kind of bond is formed when 2s orbitals combine around the nucleus?
Orbital interactions with each other produce bonding. Single covalent bonds occur when 2s orbitals overlap and combine around the nucleus.
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.
What do you mean by the orbitals of lower energy are filled in first with the electron and only then the orbitals of high energy are filled?
Because the electrons have a negative charge and the nucleus has a positive charge, so they attract each other. The electrons stay in the orbital closest to the nucleus unless it is full or they have enough energy to move away from the nucleus.
Where does electron exist in an atom?
Electrons exist in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. This cloud is made up of the various orbitals that hold the electrons. Orbitals are regions of space in which the probability of finding an electron is the highest. The electrons orbit the nucleus in these orbitals and can move from one orbital to another as they gain or lose energy. 1s Orbital: This orbital is closest to the nucleus and can hold up to two electrons. 2s Orbital: This orbital is farther away from the nucleus and can hold up to two electrons. 2p Orbitals: These orbitals are even farther away from the nucleus and can hold up to six electrons. 3s Orbital: This orbital is farthest away from the nucleus and can hold up to two electrons. 3p Orbitals: These orbitals are even farther away from the nucleus and can hold up to six electrons. 3d Orbitals: These orbitals are the farthest away from the nucleus and can hold up to ten electrons.These orbitals are filled in a specific order with the 1s orbital being filled first then the 2s 2p 3s 3p and finally the 3d orbitals. The electrons in the outermost orbitals are called valence electrons and are responsible for the chemical properties of the atom.
What is the maxium of numbers in a second energy level?
if you're talking about atoms, 8 electrons can sit in the second energy level. two sit in the 2s orbital and 6 in the 2p orbital.
