They are both s level orbitals; they can carry two electrons and are spherical in shape. The only difference is that the 4s level is larger than the 3s, and the 3s level will fill first.

Arrange the following sublevels in order of decreasing energy 2P 4S 3S 3D 3P?

4s 3p 3s 2p 1s This is probably one of the easiest chemistry problems in the book, you should probably look it up.


Which sublevels of the third energy level are filled in the element krypton?

In the element krypton, the third energy level has 3 sublevels: s, p, and d. The s and p sublevels are filled first before the d sublevel. This means that in krypton, the 4s and 4p sublevels are filled, while the 4d sublevel remains empty.


Which sublevels contain valence electrons in an atom of argon (Ar)?

The sublevels that contain valence electrons in an atom of argon (Ar) are the 3s and 3p sublevels. Argon has a total of 8 valence electrons.

What is 2s 3s - s?

To simplify the expression (2s + 3s - s), combine the like terms. First, add (2s) and (3s) to get (5s). Then subtract (s) from (5s), resulting in (4s). Thus, the simplified expression is (4s).


How are the orbital different in sublevels of the same principal energy level?

the orbitals of the sublevels of the same principal energy level differ in shape which describes where the electron is likely to be found. Also the orbitals of sublevels have different energy levels. In ascending enegy in any level s < p < d < f < g etc HOWEVER whether the different sublevels exist depends on the principal energy level ie 1s 2s, 2p 3s, 3p, 3d 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f


How many total orbitals are within the 3s 3p and 3d sublevels of the third energy?

9


What's the answer to this problem 4s - 5 - 3s?

4s-5-3s =s-5 The s and 5 can not subtract because they aren't like terms. Like terms have the same variable.


How many total orbitals are within the 3s 3p and 3d sub levels of the third energy level?

There are one 3s orbital, three 3p orbitals, and five 3d sublevels.


How do you solve 7s-12 equals 3s-4?

Bring all the unknown values to one side and the known values to the other 7s - 12 = 3s - 4 Subtract 3s from both sides 7s - 3s - 12 = 4 4s - 12 = 4 Add 12 to both sides 4s = 4 + 12 4s = 16 Divide both sides by 4 s = 4
