How many electrons does nitrogen have in the 2p orbitals?

3 The electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s22s22p3.


How are subshells and orbitals related in the electron configuration of an atom?

In the electron configuration of an atom, subshells are made up of orbitals. Each subshell can hold a specific number of orbitals, and each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons. The arrangement of electrons in subshells and orbitals determines the overall electron configuration of an atom.

What is a region around the nucleus in which electrons move about?

Electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in patterns called electron shells.


How many electron orbitals does boron have?

Boron has two electron orbitals - 1s and 2s. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.


What atom has an electron cloud instead of orbiting electrons?

All atoms of all elements have electrons in the electron cloud (better known as orbitals). The concept of orbits (electrons moving in fixed paths) is now replaced by orbitals.


If three electrons are available to fill three empty 2p atomic orbitals how will the electrons be distributed in the three orbitals?

The three electrons will fill each of the three 2p atomic orbitals with one electron each. Hund's rule states that electrons prefer to occupy empty orbitals before pairing up, so in this case each orbital will have one electron before any orbital receives a second electron.


How the valence electron of silver is 18?

In silver there are 2 electrons in 3s orbital, 6 electrons in 3p orbitals and 10 electrons in 3d orbitals. So there is a total of 18 electrons
