The sub-level that contains a maximum of three pairs of electrons is the p sub-level. Each p sub-level can hold a maximum of six electrons, meaning it can accommodate up to three pairs of electrons.
The f orbital can hold a maximum of 14 electrons, which is equivalent to 7 pairs of electrons. This is because each f orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons per sublevel, and there are 7 different f orbitals (f_x, f_y, f_z, etc.). Thus, the total capacity is calculated as 7 orbitals × 2 electrons/orbital = 14 electrons.
None. Zinc fills up its 3d sublevel with 10 electrons, all pairs. So, there are no remaining unpaired electrons
Elemental nitrogen has 7 electrons.Thus, the first (or K) shell of electrons contains 2 of them (the maximum that the K shell can accommodate).The second (or L) shell of electrons contains the remaining 5, however, the maximum number of electrons that the L shell can accommodate is 8.Therefore, elemental nitrogen has three unpaired electrons that can be used to form covalent bonds.In ammonia (NH3) all three of those unpaired electrons are paired with hydrogen atoms.Leaving only a single unshared pair of electrons in the L shell.Technically, the pair of electrons in the K shell are also an "unshared" pair but they are unavailable for covalent activity so are generally not considered as such.
In the molecule ONF (oxygen difluoride), oxygen has two pairs of unbonded electrons (lone pairs). Nitrogen and fluorine do not have any lone pairs in this molecule, as nitrogen forms bonds with oxygen and fluorine, while fluorine, being highly electronegative, typically forms one bond and has three lone pairs. Therefore, ONF contains a total of two pairs of unbonded electrons, all associated with the oxygen atom.
The 5p subshell is a p-subshell, and as such is filled by 6 electrons - three pairs spinning in opposite directions.The number of electrons in each subshell is as follows:Subshell s p d f theoretical next subshellsNo. of e- 2 6 10 14 18, 22, 26, etc.

Lone-pair electrons, Bonded pairs of electrons
An HCl molecule contains 3 nonbonding pairs..
No, when carbon and oxygen bond, the molecule typically contains four pairs of bonding electrons between them. This leads to the formation of compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbon monoxide (CO).
A triple covalent bond contains six electrons: two electrons from each of the three atoms involved. The atoms share these electrons to form a strong bond by overlapping their orbitals. This results in a stable molecular structure.
In the molecule ONF (oxygen difluoride), oxygen has two pairs of unbonded electrons (lone pairs). Nitrogen and fluorine do not have any lone pairs in this molecule, as nitrogen forms bonds with oxygen and fluorine, while fluorine, being highly electronegative, typically forms one bond and has three lone pairs.

Electrons exist as pairs. Although, electrons hate each other, and only go as pairs as a last resort.
Ammonia contains N and H atoms. There are 3 bonding pairs.
The pairs of valence electrons that do not participate in bonding in a diatomic oxygen molecule are called lone pairs. These pairs of electrons are not involved in forming the double bond between the oxygen atoms in O2.
