There is one s orbital and three p orbitals and five d orbitals in the third energy level.


How many p orbitals can three be in an energy level?

three maximum starting from 3p


What is 2s 2p in atom?

They are the designation for the orbitals present. s and p orbitals in the 2nd energy level.


How many energy sublevels are in fourth energy level?

There are four energy sublevels in the fourth energy levels: 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f.


What does the 3 in the exuation 4p3 represent?

In s.p.d.f. notation, the first number is the main energy level (quantum shell), also known as n. In this case, n = 4, hence this is the 4th energy level we are talking about.The letter in the middle is the orbital in that energy level. There are s-orbitals, p-orbitals, d-orbitals and f-orbitals. Here we are talking about the p-orbitals of the 4th main energy level (i.e. the dumbbell shaped orbitals).The final number of the notation is the number of electrons occupying that orbital of that energy level. All s-orbitals can only hold up to 2 electrons, p-orbitals can hold up to 6 electrons, d-orbitals up to 10, and so on. The 3 in "4p3" is hence referring to the 3 electrons in the p-orbital of the 4th energy level.I hope that helps! :)


How many d orbitals can there be in an energ level?

They can only have 1 S ORBITAL per energy level (1s, 2s, 3s...). Each S orbital consists of 2 electrons of opposite spin.

How do p orbitals at the same energy level differ from one another?

d


Which is the lowest energy that can have a s orbital?

Each main energy level (1 to 7) has at least an s-orbital, p-orbitals are possible from the second level onwards (2 to 7) d-orbitals from 4th level f-orbitals from 6th level


How many 2p orbitals are there and what is the number of electrons they can hold?

There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.


Does an electron have the same amount of enery in all orbitals?

All of the orbitals in the same energy sublevel (s, p, d, f) have the same amount of energy. For example, each of the 3p orbitals have the same energy and all of the electrons in the 3p orbitals have the same energy.


How many orbitals exist in the fourth principal energy level what are they and in what periods can they be found?
