Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!

For states with larger values of n that admit a d subshell, the d subshell is at even higher energy than the p subshell. In fact

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Correct order of energy of energy states within an atom is as follows

1s , 2 s, 2 p 3 s ,3 p, 4s , 3d, 4p, 4p,5s etc.

There is discrepancies in this order due to overlapping of outer orbitals with inner orbitals so sometimes outer orbitals have lower energy.
