Question

15 the major difference between a 1s and a 2s orbital is that the ________ 2s orbital can hold more electrons 2s orbital is at a higher energy level 1s orbital can hold only a maximum of 1 electron. 2s orbital is a different shape clear all

Explanation:

Both 1s and 2s orbitals are spherical in shape and can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. The principal quantum number (n) determines the energy level. For 1s, n = 1 and for 2s, n = 2. Higher n - values correspond to higher energy levels.

Answer:

2s orbital is at a higher energy level
