Chapter 4, Problem 83E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The orbital out of $2s$ and $3s$ that has higher energy is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

An atom is made up of three subatomic particles-neutrons, protons, and electrons. Neutrons and protons are present in the nucleus of the atom, whereas electrons are revolving outside the nucleus in an atom. The electrons are arranged in the subshell of atoms according to their energy. The orbital with lower energy will fill first than the orbital with higher energy.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The orbital out of $2p_{\text{x}}$ and $3p_{\text{x}}$ that has higher energy is to be identified.
