There always three p orbitals in each energy level. They always have the same general shape, dumbbells pointing along the x, y, z axes. The difference is the "size" - 3p extend further than 2p

What is the alkali earth metal with only 2p and 3p electrons?

Calcium. You can check other orbitals for other elements using ptable.com and clicking on the tab at the top labeled "orbitals". It gives you electron configurations for all elements.


What is the difference between 2p and 3p orbitals?

The electrons are arranged in orbitals around the nucleus.the orbitals are grouped into k,L,M,N,O,P and Q shells.each shell has different or same capacity of holding electrons.k shell can hold only 2 electrons like that L-8,M-8,N-18,O-18,P-32,Q-32.its not possible in some times to represent the atomic number like this so we use s,p,d,f orbitals.here as you asked the 2p orbital belongs to L shell and 3p belongs to M shell


How many orbitals in a phosphorus atom?

There are 9 occupied orbitals in a phosphorus atom's ground state: one 1s orbital, one 2s orbital, three 2p orbitals, one 3s orbital, and three 3p orbitals.


Why phenol chloride is more acidic in nature than phenol flouride?

in Cl the resonance occurs from 3p orbitals but in F resonance occurs from 2p orbitals due this reason F increase electron density in conjugate base more as compare to Cl .


How do you slove 3P equals 2P plus 12?

3p = 2p + 12 subtract 2p from both sides 3p - 2p = 2p - 2p + 12 1p = 12 p = 12 this is how you solve this problem.


3p plus 7 equals 16 plus 2p?

3p+7 = 16+2p 3p-2p = 16-7 p = 9


How do you solve 3p equals 2p plus 12?

3p = 2p + 12subtracting 2p from both sidesp = 12 ■
