3: 1s, 2s, 2px
6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.
P orbitals can hold a total of 6 electrons. Each p orbital can accommodate 2 electrons, and there are three p orbitals (px, py, and pz) in a given energy level. Thus, the maximum capacity for p orbitals in an energy level is 3 orbitals × 2 electrons/orbital = 6 electrons.
6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital
5 electrons in p orbitals in the outer shell. Cl has an electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s2, 3p5 In level 2 there a further 6 electrons in p orbitals making 11 electrons in total occupying p orbitals
Boron has 2 electrons in its 2p orbitals in its ground state. The 2p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons (2 electrons per orbital), but in the ground state, boron only has 2 electrons in the 2p orbitals.
A set of p type orbitals can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, with each p orbital able to hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is because there are three p orbitals (px, py, pz) available for electrons to occupy in a given energy level.
zero - after the 4s orbitals are filled at Calcium, the 3d orbitals start to fill - not until Gallium do the 4p orbitals start to fill.
Three degenerate orbitals are needed to contain seven electrons with five of them being paired in o orbitals. These would consist of two orbitals with 2 electrons each and one orbital with 3 electrons.
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the s, p, d, and f orbitals are as follows: the s orbital can hold 2 electrons, the p orbitals can hold up to 6 electrons, the d orbitals can accommodate 10 electrons, and the f orbitals can contain 14 electrons. Therefore, the total maximum number of electrons in these orbitals combined is 32 (2 + 6 + 10 + 14 = 32).
6 electrons in 3 orbitals of p-sublevel: px, py and pz
There are three 4p orbitals: 4px, 4py, and 4pz. Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
