Six in total.
Per (3D)-direction 2 electrons: px2 , py2 , pz2

∙ 7y agoSince the p orbital has 3 sublevels, px, py and pz, and each can contain an unpaired electron, the total number of unpaired electrons in the 3p would be 3.

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy 3p?
Since they are p orbitals, 6 electrons are occupied in the 3p orbital. there are 3 types of p orbital, px, py and pz
What element from the periodic table has 3p- for an electron configuration?
Al, Si, P, S, Cl and Ar have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 electrons respectively in the 3p (valence orbitals). However all elements after Argon have completely filled 3p orbitals though 3p is not the valence orbital.
What is the maximum number of electrons that fit in the third energy level?
18. 2 in the 3s, 6 in the 3p and 10 in the 3d.
How many valence electrons are in Cr?
A chromium ion has the atomic number 24. This means that a neutral atom has 24 electrons. Because it has the net charge of positive three, it has 21 electrons.
What is the maximum number of dorbitals in a principal energy level?
1s orbital 3P, 5d, and 7f in discovered elements
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 2p sublevel?
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.
Has 3 electrons in the 3p sublevel?
Cl
How many orbitals can be found in a 3p sublevel?
9
Maximum number of electrons in 3p orbital?
The max. number of electrons that can fill the 3s orbital is 2.

What is the number of electrons in the third principal energy level in an atom having the electron structure 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2?
The element with that electron configuration has 4 electrons in the third level. There are 2 electrons in the 3s sublevel and 2 more electrons in the 3p sublevel. This means 4 valence electrons total. This element is silicon (Si, #14).
What is the chemical symbol that has 5 electrons in the 3p sublevel?
the total electron distribution in such an atom is 1s--2 2s--2 2p--6 3s--2 3p--5 so, total number of electrons comes out to be 17. so, the element is chlorine. symbol is Cl.
What is the maximum number of electrons that fit in the third energy level?
18. 2 in the 3s, 6 in the 3p and 10 in the 3d.
Which element completes the 3p sublevel?
dsqd
What is the maximum number of electrons in the third electron shell?
3s^2 3p^6 3d^10 18 electron altogether in the third shell.
Identify the period block and group of ne3s2 3p4?
The element is sulfur (S, #16). [Ne] means neon is the nearest noble gas with a lower atomic number. The 3s23p4 means electrons have filled the 3s2 sublevel, and 4 out of 6 possible locations in the 3p sublevel are occupied. Adding the number of electrons to neon (2+4+10) gets you 16, which identifies the element. Sulfur is in period 3, which corresponds to the unfilled level of electrons. The group is 16(6A). Sulfur is considered a p-block element, because its valence electrons partially fill the p sublevel.
