    Which orbital gives an electron the greatest probability of being found close to the nucleus?

    A)  \[3p\]                                  

    B)  \[3d\]

    C)  \[3s\]                                  

    D)  Equal

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    The orbital with lower value of \[(n+l)\] has lower energy and is close to the nucleus. Among \[3s(3+0=3),3p(3+1=4)\] and \[3d(3+2=5)\]orbitals, 3s has lower value of \[(n+l)\], thus, it is close to the nucleus and provide a higher probability to the electron of being found close to the nucleus.
