It is an orbital shape for electrons. It is further split into Px, Py and Pz. Each suborbital can hold 2 electrons, so P can hold 6 total. The shape of each is a dinbell or an infinity/8 sign, on the axis in question

Why is the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
The s orbital fills before the p orbital because it has lower energy, and is more stable.
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
It has a lower energy level. All else being equal, electrons tend to go into the lowest energy orbital with space available.
How many p electrons are possible in any orbital?
6 electrons can ocupy the 2p, 3p, 4p, and so on. each p subshell has 3 orbitals, and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, so each p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons total.
What is the Fullform of s-orbital p-orbital d-orbital and f-orbital?
The orbital names s, p, d, and fstand for names given to groups of lines in the spectra of the alkali metals. These line groups are called sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental.
How many electrons can fit in each of the p orbital electron clouds?
Maximum of two in each of the p orbital. there are three p orbitals (px, py and pz)
What does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
the s orbital is lower in energy than the p orbital
Why is the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
The s orbital fills before the p orbital because it has lower energy, and is more stable.
What is shape of a p orbital?
The shape of a p orbital is like a dumbbell-shaped. P orbital shapes depends on the quantum numbers affiliated with an energy state.
What is the full form of p orbital?
A full p orbital contains 6 electrons.
The letter p in the symbol 4p3 indicates the what?
orbital shape
What is penetration effect?
Electron in s-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in p-orbital and electron in p-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in d-orbital and so on. So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"
What a meaning of metals?
A semi-metal is type of element that has a partially filled P orbital. These are often referred to as nonmetals, too.
What is a p bond and delocalised p orbital?
p bonds are covalent chemical bonds where the orbital path of an electron crosses with the path of another
What orbital has three mutualperpendicular dumbbell shaped orbits?
P orbital
What is the shape of a p?
The shape of a p orbital is like a dumbbell-shaped. P orbital shapes depends on the quantum numbers affiliated with an energy state.
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
It has a lower energy level. All else being equal, electrons tend to go into the lowest energy orbital with space available.
How many p electrons are possible in any orbital?
6 electrons can ocupy the 2p, 3p, 4p, and so on. each p subshell has 3 orbitals, and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, so each p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons total.
