Oxygen is in period 2 of the Periodic Table, telling you that it has n=2 or 2 orbits. The number of orbitals would be 1 in n=1 and 4 in n=2 for a total of 5 orbitals, if that is what you mean. Looking at it another way: for n=1, there is 1s (1 orbital); for n=2, there is 2s (1 orbital) and 2p (3 orbitals). The electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p4

How many orbitals are in the following sublevel 4s sublevel?
All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.
How many orbitals are in the f block in the elements chart?
There are 7 orbitals in the F-block
How many electrons does the oxygen atom need to became stable?
It needs two electrons. Then it would have ten electrons, which would mean full s- and p-orbitals.
Why does phosphorus and sulfur expand octets in many of their compounds but nitrogen and oxygen never do?
P and S both have 'd' orbitals in outermost shell while N and O do not.
Why are oxygen paramagnetic?
oxygen is para magnetic in nature. Due to the presence of 2 unpaired electron ^Py and ^Pz anti bonding orbitals. which account for the para magnetic behavior of oxygen
How many a orbitals are there in a sublevel?
5 orbitals
How many orbitals are in 4d sublevel?
7 Orbitals
How many orbitals exist for n equals 4?
16 orbitals
How many orbitals are occupied in a Ar atom?
Ne has three p-orbitals.
A given set of p orbitals consists of how many orbitals?
Always three!
How many shells or orbitals does an atom of silicon have?
Shells: 3 Orbitals: 9
What happens when helium combines with oxygen?
Helium doesn't combine with oxygen. Helium is chemically inert because it has completely filled valence orbitals.
How many orbitals are in the following sublevel 4s sublevel?
All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.
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 orbitals are in h2o?
There are 4 orbitals in H2O , one s and 3 p
How many orbitals are in the f block in the elements chart?
There are 7 orbitals in the F-block
How many filled orbitals are in an atom of sulfur?
2 full orbitals, S and P
