There are three p orbitals in all levels 2 and above. these are the px, py and pz orbitals, the (suffix is the direction - px lies along the x axis). In the 5th level they will be 5px, 5py, 5pz

What is the number of unpaired electrons in a Sb atom?

An antimony (Sb) atom has five valence electrons in its outermost shell, which is the 5th shell with an electron configuration of [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p3. In the 5p subshell, there are three electrons, and they occupy separate orbitals due to Hund's rule, resulting in three unpaired electrons. Therefore, an Sb atom has three unpaired electrons.


How many electrons does rubidium have in its outer most shell?

How many electrons can the 5th energy level hold?

8, it goes 2 in the first shell then 8 in all the others until your electron count is up if it ends up with less than a full outer shell then it is looking to combine with another atom who has electrons to spare

What is the number of valence electrons an element wants to be stable?

Exactly enough to fill all the orbitals of their outermost (valence) shell:Hydrogen and Helium only have an s orbital in their outer shell, this shell is filled with 2 electronsAll other elements have an s orbital and 3 p orbitals in their outer shell, each orbital can take 2 electrons so this shell is filled with 8 electrons


Where are electrons located according to modern atomic theory?

I hate these kinds of questions, because the mental picture most people have of atoms is so very wrong it's hard to know where to start.When talking about electrons in atoms, the first thing to know is that they're in orbitals, which are not at all the same thing as orbits. They're not going around and around in circles, they're... somewhere inside a sort of "cloud", and are more likely to be found in some regions of the "cloud" than in others.There are equations that describe the probability of finding an electron in a given orbital at a particular point in space. These equations are called "wave functions," and are pretty complicated. If you really want to know, I recommend two books in particular: either Levine's Quantum Chemistry (better if you're approaching things from the chemistry side and/or want all the details at an advanced level) or Feynman's Lectures on Physics, volume III (better if you want more of an overview at a college sophomore physics level, or are more of a physicist). Both of these will be in any good college library, and may be in some public libraries with better-than-average science sections (the Feynman in particular).Multiplying these equations in a particular way and integrating them gives you the probability density... how likely it is to find an electron to be in a particular region. The interesting thing about these probabilities is that they have nodes... regions of space where it's actually impossible to find the electron, though it could potentially be found on either side. For example, a p-type orbital has a nodal plane. The electron can be above the plane or below the plane, but (and this is the part that gives most people conniptions, the first time they run across it) it can never be found in the plane itself. Not even briefly. Not even "just passing through." So how does it get from one side to the other? It... just does. And all the math works out. But to really understand it, you've got to forget pretty much everything you think you know about how the universe works, and learn to trust the math.


How many electron shells will be filled by xenon?

The electronic configuration of xenon is 2, 8, 18, 18, 8. So there are FIVE electrons shells that are filled. Alternatively, xenon belongs to 5th group, so the fifth shell is the valence shell.


How many sub shells are there?

Four sub-shells: s, p, d, f . Only artificially / theoretically in quantum mechanics there is a 5th sub shell 'g' and maybe 'h' is the 6th


How many total p electrons does an atom of Sn have?

An atom of Sn (Tin) has 4 valence electrons in the 5th shell, so it has 4 p electrons.
