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.
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 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
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.
If each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons how many electrons can 2s hold?
17
Does orbital 2s have more energy than 2p?
No
What is the angular momentum of an electron in 2s-orbital?
Zero.
From which orbital in a lithium atom is an electron transferred to make a positive ion?
An electron is lost from the 2s orbital
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.
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.
