It is based on many factors, but the easiest to understand is ENERGY. The orbitals in which the electron has the lowest energy are filled FIRST.
Nitrogen (N) is atomic number 7, so has 7 electrons in the ground state. The configuration is1s2 2s2 2p3. From this, one can see that the 1s is full, as is the 2s. So, the number of completely filled orbitals is TWO.
Xenon has five electron shells.
Looking at the electron configuration of carbon (at. no. 6) you have 1s2 2s2 2p2. In the 2 p subshell, you have 1 electron in the 2px orbital, and 1 electron in the 2py orbital and no electrons in the 2pz orbital. So, the answer is that there are TWO half filled orbitals in the carbon atom. This is the case BEFORE hybridization. After hybridization, there are FOUR half filled orbitals which are called sp3 hybrids.
Ne has three p-orbitals.
Three completely filled orbitals.
2 full orbitals, S and P
7

Cadmium is a d block metal element. Atomic number of it is 48. It has 5 s orbitals filled with electrons.
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s1 So 5 full orbitals and a half filled 3d orbital
The 1s, 2s, 2p and 3s
the answer is 12!
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.
