Extent of overlapping propto directional character Extent of overlapping propto (1/ text size of orbital )

Q. Correct order of extent of overlapping is :-

2s - 2s > 2p - 2p > 2s - 2p

1s - 1s > 2p - 2p > 2s - 2p

1s - 1s < 2s - 2s < 3s - 3s

3s - 3s > 3s - 3p > 3p - 3p

Extent of overlapping $\propto$ directional character
Extent of overlapping $\propto \frac{1}{size of orbital}$

Q. Correct order of extent of overlapping is :-

2s - 2s > 2p - 2p > 2s - 2p

1s - 1s > 2p - 2p > 2s - 2p

1s - 1s < 2s - 2s < 3s - 3s

3s - 3s > 3s - 3p > 3p - 3p

Extent of overlapping ∝ directional character Extent of overlapping ∝ size of orbital 1​

Extent of overlapping $\propto$ directional character
Extent of overlapping $\propto \frac{1}{size of orbital}$
