An orbital can only occupy maximum of 2 electrons. As p orbital consist of 3 orbitals. And has 3 orientations. Px, Py, Pz. So as there are 3 orbitals so p orbital can occupy at the maximum 6 electrons regardless of principle quantum no.. In 4p 4 is principle quantum no. So it represent 4p represent the p orbital of 4th shell. So it also occupy at the maximum of 6 electrons.

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 maximum number of electron found in the fourth main shell of an atom?
Use the formula n2 = max. number of electrons in shell. 42 = 16. 16 electrons.
How can period number related to the location of valence electrons?
The period number is the same as the energy level containing the valence electrons. For example, in period 4, the valence electrons are the 4s and 4p electrons.
What could be the fourth quantum number for on of the electrons in the 4p energy sublevel of bromine?
ms -1/2
What could be the fourth quantum number for one of the electrons on the 4p energy sublevel of bromine?
ms=-1/2
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the n equals 4 energy level?
there are 16 orbitals in a n=4 shell *since there are 2 electrons in each orbital, that makes 32 electrons total here
How many electrons are indicated in 4p2?
4p2 means the there are 2 electrons in the 4p sub-shell. Till this sub-shell, the atom has 32 electrons
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 maximum number of electron found in the fourth main shell of an atom?
Use the formula n2 = max. number of electrons in shell. 42 = 16. 16 electrons.
In a bromine atom which atomic orbitals contain the valence electrons?
* Ground state electron configuration:[Ar].3d10.4s2.4p6 so...4s and 4p
How many electrons does a 4p sublevel hold?
the p subshell has 3 orbitals. Each Orbital can hold 2 electrons with opposite spins. therefore the p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
How many electrons are there in the 3s orbital?
Yes, it exists. If you write the orbitals in order of increasing energy, then you get it. The order is:- 1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d<5p<6s<4f<5d<6p..................... Here, you get the 3s orbital at the 4th place.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 2p sublevel?
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.
How many p-orbitals are occupied in a K atom?
Twelve: 6 electrons in 2p6 and 6 electrons in 3p6. No electrons in 4p orbital in ground state, so 4p0, only 4s1 is occupied (4th period, group 1)
Why are the valence electrons of calcium in the 4s orbital not the 3d orbital?
The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel.
What is the second quantum number for one of the electrons in the 4p energy sublevel of bromine?
l = 1
How can period number related to the location of valence electrons?
The period number is the same as the energy level containing the valence electrons. For example, in period 4, the valence electrons are the 4s and 4p electrons.
