Question

The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that

Answer 1

Answer:

The 2s orbital is at a higher energy level.

Explanation:

1s and 2s are the sub-orbitals that are located in an atom. They are nearest to the nucleus and are found on the s sub-orbital. The difference between 1s and 2s is the difference in their level of energy. 1s has low energy as compared to 2s. 1s orbital has the lowest energy because it is located closed to the nucleus. 2s orbital has higher energy than 1s because it's orbit is larger than 1s.
