All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.


What element has three unpaired electrons in its p orbital?

The elements in group 15 Nitrogen, N; Phosphorus, P; Arsenic, As; Antimony, Sb and Bismuth, Bi all have a ground state with 3 unpaired electrons in p orbitals.


How many d orbitals can there be in an energ level?

They can only have 1 S ORBITAL per energy level (1s, 2s, 3s...). Each S orbital consists of 2 electrons of opposite spin.


A given set of p orbitals consists of how many orbitals?

Always three!


How many orbitals are in third energy level?

There is one s orbital and three p orbitals and five d orbitals in the third energy level.


How many half filled orbitals are in a arsenic atom?

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.


If three electrons are available to fill three empty 2p atomic orbitals how will the electrons be distributed in the three orbitals?

One electron in each of the three p orbitals (Hund's rule)


Is a phosphorus atom in the ground state paramagnetic or diamagnetic?

Arsenic is paramagnetic because the electron configuration is {Ar}4s^2,3d^10,4p^3. Due to the unpaired electron at the end (4p^*3*) the atom in ground state is paramagnetic. **OR Arsenic would be paramagnetic since the 4 p orbitals each contain one electron with parallel spin. These three unpaired electrons give arsenic its paramagnetic property.


How many orbitals are completely filled in an atom of an element whose atomic number is 19?

Three completely filled orbitals.


How many p-orbitals are occupied in a Ne atom?

All three 2p orbitals (2px, 2py, 2pz) are occupied by two electrons each.(6 electrons in total: (2px2, 2py2, 2pz2) = 2p6)
