apparently 8. according to another website. :)
One main group element in period 3 that has p orbitals half-filled with electrons is phosphorus. Phosphorus has five valence electrons in its outer shell, occupying three of the available p orbitals with one electron in each.

The element magnesium has the same number of electron orbitals as sodium - both have three electron orbitals. Sodium and magnesium are in the same period on the periodic table, which means they have the same number of electron shells.
5 sub-orbitals with (max.) two electrons in each, so 10 in total. This is also true for 4d and 5d orbitalsSymbols:dz2 , dxz ,dyz ,dxy ,dx2-y2
all elements in a period have the same amount of orbitals and if an element is in period 2 it has 2 orbitals if it is in period 3 it has 3 orbitals ..etc
Each and every element after Lithium has these orbitals.

The element magnesium (Mg) has the same number of electron orbitals as sodium (Na).Six1) , to be exact. The only orbital difference between the both is that sodium has one unpaired electron orbital whereas all the six orbitals of magnesium are paired.Added:1s2, 2s2, [2px22py22pz2], and finally 3s1 or 3s2 (for Na or Mg respectively)1) Actually the three [2px22py22pz2] are sub-orbitals of the (one) 2p6-orbital.The answer then would have been four in stead of 'Six'.
You would have to determine the electron configuration for atoms of a given element. Each s sublevel contains 1 orbital, each p sublevel contains 3 orbitals, each d sublevel contain 5 orbitals, and each f sublevel contains 7 orbitals. Click on the related link to see a periodic table that shows electron configurations for the elements.
Electron Orbitals can form a hybrid in order to achieve a more stable element: sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, sp3d2
silicon
Vanadium (V) contains 5 electrons in its 3d orbitals.
6. There are only ever 3 p orbitals in a level, there are 3 p orbitals in the 3p sublevel, 4p sublevel etc. There are NO p orbitals in Level 1, only s orbitals.
Three completely filled orbitals.
Yes,It Is :)
