The element with only 3 orbitals is lithium (Li). The electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^1, indicating that it has one electron in the 2s orbital.
The element germanium has four valence orbitals: one 4s orbital and three 4p orbitals. This gives a total of four orbitals.
One main group element in period 3 that has p orbitals half-filled with electrons is phosphorus. Phosphorus has five valence electrons in its outer shell, occupying three of the available p orbitals with one electron in each.

The element magnesium has the same number of electron orbitals as sodium - both have three electron orbitals. Sodium and magnesium are in the same period on the periodic table, which means they have the same number of electron shells.
5 sub-orbitals with (max.) two electrons in each, so 10 in total. This is also true for 4d and 5d orbitalsSymbols:dz2 , dxz ,dyz ,dxy ,dx2-y2
all elements in a period have the same amount of orbitals and if an element is in period 2 it has 2 orbitals if it is in period 3 it has 3 orbitals ..etc
Each and every element after Lithium has these orbitals.
The element germanium has four valence orbitals: one 4s orbital and three 4p orbitals. This gives a total of four orbitals.
One main group element in period 3 that has p orbitals half-filled with electrons is phosphorus. Phosphorus has five valence electrons in its outer shell, occupying three of the available p orbitals with one electron in each.
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.
You would have to determine the electron configuration for atoms of a given element. Each s sublevel contains 1 orbital, each p sublevel contains 3 orbitals, each d sublevel contain 5 orbitals, and each f sublevel contains 7 orbitals.

Electrons being added to the 4f orbitals are part of the lanthanide series of elements. These elements have atomic numbers ranging from 57-71 and their electrons are filling the 4f sublevel. This filling of the 4f orbitals gives rise to the unique properties of the lanthanide elements.

The element magnesium (Mg) has the same number of electron orbitals as sodium (Na).Six1) , to be exact. The only orbital difference between the both is that sodium has one unpaired electron orbital whereas all the six orbitals of magnesium are paired.Added:1s2, 2s2, [2px22py22pz2], and finally 3s1 or 3s2 (for Na or Mg respectively)1) Actually the three [2px22py22pz2] are sub-orbitals of the (one) 2p6-orbital.The answer then would have been four in stead of 'Six'.
Yes,It Is :)
Three completely filled orbitals.
