It is believed to be 6.
A bromine atom has 7 half-filled orbitals: one in the 4s orbital, three in the 4p orbitals, and three in the 4d orbitals.
Iodine has an atomic number of 53, which means it has 53 electrons. The electron configuration of iodine is [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁵. In this configuration, the filled orbitals include the 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 4d, and 5s orbitals, totaling 10 filled orbitals: 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 4d¹⁰, and 5s². The 5p orbital has 5 electrons but is not fully filled, so it does not contribute to the count of filled orbitals.
Among the orbitals listed, the 4p orbital has the highest energy. In general, energy levels increase with principal quantum number (n) and also depend on the type of orbital (s, p, d). While 3d orbitals can have higher energy than 4s due to electron-electron interactions, the 4p orbital, being in the fourth principal energy level, is the highest in energy among the options given.
The orbital designation "4p 3s 2d 5f" is invalid because it does not follow the proper order of filling orbitals according to the Aufbau principle. The correct order is 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, and 7p.
In the formation of the bromine (Br₂) molecule, the overlapping orbitals are the p orbitals of the two bromine atoms. Specifically, the 4p orbitals from each bromine atom overlap to form a sigma bond, resulting in the diatomic molecule. This overlap allows for the sharing of a pair of electrons, which is essential for bond formation.
the answer is 3
There are three 4p orbitals in an atom. Each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons with opposite spins.
apparently 8. according to another website. :)
A bromine atom has 7 half-filled orbitals: one in the 4s orbital, three in the 4p orbitals, and three in the 4d orbitals.
All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.
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.
16 orbitals in the 4th energy level. One s orbital, three p orbitals, five d orbitals, seven f orbitals Elements where the 4th principal energy level are filled are:- period 4 4s and 4p (starting with potassium) period 5 4d starting with Yttrium Lanthanides 4f starting with cerium

Iodine has an atomic number of 53, which means it has 53 electrons. The electron configuration of iodine is [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p⁵. In this configuration, the filled orbitals include the 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 4d, and 5s orbitals, totaling 10 filled orbitals: 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 4d¹⁰, and 5s². The 5p orbital has 5 electrons but is not fully filled, so it does not contribute to the count of filled orbitals.
The 4p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. Each p orbital within the 4p sublevel can hold up to 2 electrons, and there are 3 p orbitals in the 4p sublevel (2 electrons per orbital * 3 orbitals = 6 electrons).
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.
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.
