How many p orbitals are filled with electrons in a xenon atom?

In a xenon atom, all five of its p orbitals are filled with electrons. Each p orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, for a total of 10 electrons in the p orbitals of xenon.


How many electrons are in the 4d orbitals of Tc?

zero - after the 4s orbitals are filled at Calcium, the 3d orbitals start to fill - not until Gallium do the 4p orbitals start to fill.


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.


How many orbitals are completely filled in an atom of chromium?

In an atom of chromium, there are a total of 24 electrons, leading to a fully filled 3s orbital (2 electrons) and a fully filled 3p orbital (6 electrons). The 3d orbital would have 5 completely filled orbitals since it can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.


What do atoms of less reactivity tend to have?

For one, the atom's outer circle is completely filled with the maximum number of electrons - it's valence orbitals are filled.


If s and p sub levels of an atom of an element in period 3 are filled with electrons which orbitals are filled in this atom?

If the s and p sublevels are filled in an atom of an element in period 3, then the orbitals filled in this atom would be 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p. Each s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while each p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.


What is the maximum number of d ortitals in a principal energy level?

D has 5 orbitals and can be filled with up to 10 electrons.


Where are the electrons being added from in the 4f orbitals?

Electrons are added to the 4f orbitals from the 5d orbitals in the lanthanide and actinide series of elements. The 4f orbitals are filled after the 5d orbitals are filled due to the overlap in energy levels, leading to the stability of the 4f electrons in these elements.


How many elements can the 3rd shell hold?

The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.


When 3 d orbitals are completely filled the new electrons will enter in?

When the 3d orbitals are completely filled, the new electrons will enter the 4s orbital before filling the 3d orbitals. This is because the 4s orbital has a lower energy level than the 3d orbitals, making it the first choice for accommodating additional electrons.


How many s orbitals are filled with electrons in a cadmium atom?

In a cadmium atom, all 27 s orbitals are filled with electrons. Cadmium has 48 electrons, and the s sublevel can hold a total of 2 electrons per orbital, so 27 orbitals are needed to accommodate all the electrons.


What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy an f energy sublevel?

The f-suborbitals begin to be filled with the lanthanoids (atomic number 57-71). Each f-suborbital can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.
