What is the term used to label the energy of electrons? Also, how are s orbitals different from p orbitals? Thank you :)

Step-by-step explanation:

energy levels(also called electrons shells) are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found. As you go further from the nucleus, electrons at higher energy levels have more energy. Electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons
