The order of size of 's' orbital is as follows:
Correct answer: B. 4s>3s>2s>1s
- A. 4s<3s<2s<1s
- B. 4s>3s>2s>1s
- C. Constant
- D. None of these options is correct
Explanation
As the energy levels increase, the orbitals get bigger. So the increasing order of the size of the hybrid orbital is 4s>3s>2s>1s.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
