The 2s orbital would be the same shape as the 1s orbital but would be smaller in size, and the 3p orbitals would have a different shape than the 2p orbitals but would be larger in size.
Also, the 2s and 3p orbitals would have more nodes.

Answer 1

The shape of 2s and 3p orbitals would be similar to 1s and 2p orbitals respectively but 2s and 3p are larger in size and have a larger number of nodes.

What is an orbital?

A three-dimensional representation of an electron's most likely position within an atom is called an orbital. You should be familiar with the four types of orbitals: s, p, d, and f. (sharp, principal, diffuse and fundamental). There are specific orbital combinations found within each of an atom's shells. There are only s orbitals in the n=1 shell, s and p orbitals in the n=2 shell, s, p, and d orbitals in the n=3 shell and all four types of orbitals in the n=4 up shells.

An orbital's size and the number of nodes increase with increasing primary quantum number n. As a result, the 3p orbital is bigger and has more nodes than the 2p orbital, whereas the 2s orbital is bigger and has fewer nodes.
