Question

Assuming all orbitals are in the same energy level which type of orbital has the lowest energy

Answer 1

The correct answer is S orbital (apex)

Answer 2

s atomic orbital

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets us consider 4s, 4p, 4d and 4f. Here 4 is the energy level or the principal quantum number. For all the atomic orbital s, p, d and f the energy level is the same. But the energy level of each

Atomic orbital is different. s atomic orbital has the lowest energy followed by p, d and f.

Arranging the atomic orbitals in order of increasing energy:

s < p < d < f
