psi20 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 On average, is the electron in a 4s orbital farther out than the 3d one? Or is it the other way around? Do electrons in the 5s shell tend to be farther out than the ones in the 4f? And also, can you explain how the electron's energy in each orbital fits in to this. Thanks in advance.
