Arsenic has three electrons occupying the three 4p orbitals in its valence shell. Hund's first rule tells us that they will each occupy separate orbitals before they start to pair up. So there are three half-filled orbitals in an arsenic atom.

Is the bond between hydrogen and oxygen an ionic bond?
No..It is hybridised to be precise.. See oxygen forms 3 sp2 hybrid orbitals with two half filled orbitals and one orbital filled with the lone pair.. hence the half filled orbitals are each filled by the hydrogen atoms respectively( as hydrogen requires only one atom for stability)..
How many half-filled orbitals are there in a chlorine atom?
The number of atoms in 1/2 gram of the chemical element copper is 4.7384X10^21. Copper has the atomic number 29 and its symbol is Cu.

How many half-filled orbitals are there in a carbon atom?
Looking at the electron configuration of carbon (at. no. 6) you have 1s2 2s2 2p2. In the 2 p subshell, you have 1 electron in the 2px orbital, and 1 electron in the 2py orbital and no electrons in the 2pz orbital. So, the answer is that there are TWO half filled orbitals in the carbon atom. This is the case BEFORE hybridization. After hybridization, there are FOUR half filled orbitals which are called sp3 hybrids.
When elements are stable?
Elements are stable when they have completely filled (or half filled) orbitals.

How many electron orbitals does this atom chlorine have?
The electron configuration of chlorine is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5. Each separated letter in that notation represents a distinct electron orbital. Therefore, there are 5 electron orbitals in chlorine.
Why the ionization potential of 2-A group is more than the ionization potential of 1-A group?
Completely filled s orbital is more stable than half filled s orbitals and it is difficult to remove electrons from the former due to extra stibility. Group IIA elements (or alkaline earth metals) have completely filled s orbitals, whereas group IA elements have half filled s orbitals.
How many half filled orbitals are in Xenon?
Each orbital in Xenon has its full complement of electrons.
