Aluminum (Al) has 3 occupied p orbitals. Each p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons (2 electrons per orbital). Since aluminum has 3 valence electrons, all 3 will be in p orbitals.
All three 2p orbitals (2px, 2py, 2pz) are occupied by two electrons each.(6 electrons in total: (2px2, 2py2, 2pz2) = 2p6)
A potassium (K) atom has one electron in the 4s orbital. There are no p-orbitals occupied in a potassium atom.
Nitrogen has 7 electrons. In the highest occupied energy level (n=2), there are 5 electrons, filling the 2s and 2p orbitals.
Fluorine: 1 singly occupied orbital Iron: 2 singly occupied orbitals Calcium: 0 singly occupied orbitals Arsenic: 3 singly occupied orbitals Aluminum: 1 singly occupied orbital Lithium: 1 singly occupied orbital
Aluminum (Al) has 3 occupied p orbitals. Each p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons (2 electrons per orbital). Since aluminum has 3 valence electrons, all 3 will be in p orbitals.
Well, honey, Aluminum has 13 electrons, and it's in the third period of the periodic table. So, it has 3 energy levels, and the p orbitals are in the second energy level. Since there are 3 p orbitals in the second energy level, and each p orbital can hold 2 electrons, that means there are 6 p orbitals occupied by electrons in an Aluminum atom.
All three 2p orbitals (2px, 2py, 2pz) are occupied by two electrons each.(6 electrons in total: (2px2, 2py2, 2pz2) = 2p6)
In a sulfur atom, there are 6 p orbitals available (one for each of the three p sublevels: px, py, and pz). Each p orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, so in total, there can be 6 p orbitals occupied by electrons in a sulfur atom.
A potassium (K) atom has one electron in the 4s orbital. There are no p-orbitals occupied in a potassium atom.
Nitrogen has 7 electrons. In the highest occupied energy level (n=2), there are 5 electrons, filling the 2s and 2p orbitals.
Ne has three p-orbitals.
Fluorine: 1 singly occupied orbital Iron: 2 singly occupied orbitals Calcium: 0 singly occupied orbitals Arsenic: 3 singly occupied orbitals Aluminum: 1 singly occupied orbital Lithium: 1 singly occupied orbital
The electrons in beryllium occupy a total of four orbitals. Beryllium has 4 electrons, which fill the 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals.

[Ar]4s13d5 why is it arranged in this way is simply because a fully occupied is more stable than half occupied and partially occupied at last.
3 The electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s22s22p3.
