Explain all question with proper answer. .

1. Is an electron in the 3p energy sublevel of a sulfur atom more stable, less stable, or equal in energy to an electron in the 3p sublevel of a phosphorus atom? Explain. 2. Is an electron in the 3s energy sublevel of a magnesium atom more stable, less stable, or equal in energy to an electron in the 3s sublevel of a calcium atom? Explain. 3. Orbitals are less stable (have a higher energy) as n increases. However, it is found that the 4s energy sub-level is more stable than the 3d energy sub-level. Explain this anomaly in the ordering of the energy of the electron orbitals. 4. Order the following 2s-orbitals on separate atoms from most stable to least stable: nitrogen, fluorine, lithium.
