Question

variations of s p d and f orbital energies of atoms in the periodic table

Answer 1

Orbitals are regions of space where electrons are  most likely to be found in an atom. These orbitals are designated as s, p, d, f among others.

The energy increases as you move up the orbital in such a way that s orbital has the lowest energy and f orbital has the highest energy.

S orbital -orbital is symmetrically spherical about the axis and as the energy levels increases the electrons are located further away from the nucleus.

p- orbital- these orbitals are oriented in a particular direction. that is in a given energy level we have three p-orbitals i.e Px, Py and Pz.

d-orbital- are for atoms which exhibit higher energy levels and it is composed of five orbitals. That is dxy, dyz, dxz, dx²-y² and dz²
