(A) S has a greater effective nuclear charge than P, and the 3p sublevel in S has greater electron
repulsions than in P.
(B) S has a greater effective nuclear charge than P, and the 3p sublevel is more heavily shielded
in S than in P.

(C) S has a greater number of electrons than P, so the third energy level is further from the
nucleus in S than in P.
(D) S has a greater number of electrons than P, so the Coulombic attraction between the electron
cloud and the nucleus is greater in S than in P.
