The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that?
the 2s orbital is at a higher energy level
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 can you tell the difference between 2s subshell and 2p subshell?
You can tell the difference between 2s sub-shell and 2p sub-shell by checking their energy levels whereby a 2p orbital has a higher energy level compared to a 2s orbital.
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 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.
Does orbital 2s have more energy than 2p?
No
The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that?
the 2s orbital is at a higher energy level
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.
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.
Why boron has a lower first-ionization energy than beryllium?
Because in Boron there is a complete 2s orbital and the increased shielding of the 2s orbital reduces the ionisation energy compared to that seen in Beryllium.

You can tell the difference between 2s sub-shell and 2p sub-shell by checking their energy levels whereby a 2p orbital has a higher energy level compared to a 2s orbital.

How many energy levels are found in an atom of carbon?
There are 2 energy levels in a Carbon atom. The first energy level consists of '1s' orbital, and the second energy level consists of the '2s' orbital and the '2p' orbital.
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.
How many electrons are held in the second energy level?
A total number of 8 electrons. Two in the 2s orbital and six in the 2p orbital
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.
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.
