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.
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 by electrons in sulfur atom.?
Sulfur has two electrons in the 1s orbital, two electrons in the 2s orbital, and 6electrons in the 2 p orbitals. The electrons are part of the first and second energy levels, the electron core. The next energy level, the last one, is the outermost energy which comprises the valence shell.
How many electron orbital shells does chlorine have?
Your question reveals a common confusion between orbitals and shells. Chlorine has three electron shells: the first, second and third. The first shell has just the one orbital, the 1s The second shell has two sub-shells, the 2s and the 2p. There are three p orbitals in the 2p sub-shell. Each orbital can hold two electrons, so there are eight electrons maximum in the second shell. The third shell likewise has two sub-shells, the 3s and the 3p, but the 3p is not completely filled, leaving room for one more electron. When chlorine gains this electron it will become a Cl- ion. This is summed up in the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p5.
What is the orbital notation for silicon?
You'll find that [Kr] 5s24d9 is the noble gas notation for silver, with Kr being krypton.
What is true when you compare 2p and 3p orbitals?
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
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 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.
How do you solve 3p equals 2p plus 12?
3p = 2p + 12subtracting 2p from both sidesp = 12 ■
What is 8-3p-4 equals 2p?
8-3p-4 = 2p 4 - 3p = 2p add 3p to both sides 4 = 5p divide both sides by 5 4/5 = p
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 do you factor 3p squared - 2p - 5?
3p2-2p-5 = (3p-5)(p+1) when factored
What is the total number of p orbitals in the third energy level of an atom?
Aufbau: 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 3d 4s 4p 4d 4f In a 3p element, which include Al, Si, P, S, Cl, and Ar, there are 2p and 3p orbitals, of which only the 3p exists in the third energy level. There are three types of p orbital, px, py, and pz. They orient themselves in the x, y and z axes, as is suggested. Therefore, there are three p-orbitals in the third energy level.
What is 6p divide by 3p?
6p divide by 3p = 2
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 answer -5 plus 3p-p?
-5 + 3p - p = -5 + 2p
