Question

Which statement is true? An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is more shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a higher energy. An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a higher energy. An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy. An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is more shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy.

Explanation / Answer

If an orbital that penetrates into will be closer to the nuclues and it will less shilded
On the other hand an orbital that doesn't penetrate will be more shielded
farther the orbital , greater the energy
