The 3p sublevel is completed by the noble gas element Argon (Ar) which has 18 electrons in total.
To find the element with a 3p4 valence configuration, look in period 3 and group XVI, and that is ...S, sulfur.
There are 2, 6 and 10 electrons in the 3s (1 suborbital), 3p (with 3 suborbitals: 3px, 3py, 3pz) and 5 sub orbitals in the 3d orbital: this makes a total of 18 electrons in 9 suborbitals
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.

The 3p sublevel is completed by the noble gas element Argon (Ar) which has 18 electrons in total.
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.
Since they are p orbitals, 6 electrons are occupied in the 3p orbital. there are 3 types of p orbital, px, py and pz
To find the element with a 3p4 valence configuration, look in period 3 and group XVI, and that is ...S, sulfur.
In an atom of argon (atomic number 18), the valence electrons are found in the 3s and 3p sublevels. Specifically, argon has a complete outer shell with the electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶. Therefore, the valence electrons are the two electrons in the 3s sublevel and the six electrons in the 3p sublevel, totaling eight valence electrons.
There are 2, 6 and 10 electrons in the 3s (1 suborbital), 3p (with 3 suborbitals: 3px, 3py, 3pz) and 5 sub orbitals in the 3d orbital: this makes a total of 18 electrons in 9 suborbitals
An energy sublevel refers to an electron orbital, which are designated as s, p, d or f. The maximum number of electrons in a p-type energy sublevel is 6.
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.
Phosphorus has 3 electrons in the 4p sublevel.
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.
In the ground state, the outermost principle energy level of an argon atom is the third energy level. This energy level contains the 3s and 3p sublevels. The 3s sublevel can hold up to 2 electrons, while the 3p sublevel can hold up to 6 electrons.
