Any electron is not fixed to any sub-shell or orbital.
If you provide sufficient energy to an electron, it would make transition to any of the higher energy orbitals and then come back to the lower orbitals radiating energy.

∙ 13y agoAny electron is not fixed to any sub-shell. Electrons gain energy and make transition to
higher energy levels. Then they loose energy and come back to lower levels radiating energy. Hence, for any electron to come from 3s sub-shell to 2s sub-shell, energy must be
given out.

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 correct electron configuration for 14 si is?
1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2
Which element has 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 1 as its electron configuration?
Sodium.
How many electron shells are in sodium?
Sodium has 3 energy levels, 1s, 2s, 2p, and 3s.
What is the full electron configuration of sulfur?
it is 1s(2) 2s(2) 2p(6) 3s(2) 3p(4)
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 do you use electron distribution mnemonics?
2s.3s
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.

What is the electron configuration of ccl4?
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 2p
Is the correct electron configuration for Si?
1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^2
What is the full electron configuration of sulfur?
it is 1s(2) 2s(2) 2p(6) 3s(2) 3p(4)
The correct electron configuration for chlorine?
1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5
What is the electron confirguration of potassium?
1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 6 4s 1
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.
