There are 6
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, and since 2 of them can occupy one s orbital, there needs to be 5 p orbitals for everything else. (5+1=6)
Three degenerate orbitals are needed to contain six electrons with two of them unpaired. Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, totaling six electrons in three orbitals with two unpaired.
Two degenerate orbitals are needed to accommodate the five electrons with three unpaired. The first orbital can hold two electrons with opposite spins, while the second orbital can hold up to three electrons with one paired and two unpaired.
In a cadmium atom, all 27 s orbitals are filled with electrons. Cadmium has 48 electrons, and the s sublevel can hold a total of 2 electrons per orbital, so 27 orbitals are needed to accommodate all the electrons.
The second principal energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons in total. This is because the second level consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals, which can hold 2 electrons each.
The d shell needs 10 electrons to be complete.

Three degenerate orbitals are needed to contain seven electrons with five unpaired. Two electrons will occupy two of the degenerate orbitals, while the remaining five electrons, each with one electron, will occupy the third degenerate orbital.
Two degenerate orbitals are needed to accommodate the five electrons with three unpaired. The first orbital can hold two electrons with opposite spins, while the second orbital can hold up to three electrons with one paired and two unpaired.
In a cadmium atom, all 27 s orbitals are filled with electrons. Cadmium has 48 electrons, and the s sublevel can hold a total of 2 electrons per orbital, so 27 orbitals are needed to accommodate all the electrons.
There are five orbitals in a d orbital: dxy, dyz, dxz, dx^2-y^2, and dz^2. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, resulting in a total of 10 electrons that can be accommodated in a d orbital.
The second principal energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons in total. This is because the second level consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals, which can hold 2 electrons each.
The d shell needs 10 electrons to be complete.
No, argon is not a conductor of electricity because it is a noble gas that exists in a stable, non-reactive state. This means that argon does not contain free-moving charged particles (ions or electrons) needed for electrical conduction.
Nitrogen molecule does not contain any unpaired electron in its molecular orbitals. Unpaired electron is needed to keep up the mechanism of burning.
The 2 outermost orbitals that must be filled to satisfy the octet rule are the s and p orbitals. These orbitals can hold a maximum of 8 electrons in total, which is needed to achieve a stable, full octet configuration for many elements.
Electrons are bound inside an electrostatic potential well around the nucleus; ext. energy is needed for the electron to escape.
The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, filling the 1s orbital. The second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons, filling the 2s and 2p orbitals.
