Argon has a total of 8 electrons, which are distributed in its electron configuration as 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶. In terms of orbitals, argon has 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p orbitals. Specifically, there are 1 s orbital, 1 p orbital for the second energy level, and 1 s and 1 p orbital for the third energy level, giving a total of 5 orbitals (1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p).
The region where there is a probability of finding electrons is called an "orbital." Orbitals are defined by quantum mechanics and describe the spatial distribution of an electron around an atomic nucleus. Each orbital has a specific shape and energy level, which determines the likelihood of locating an electron in that region. Common types of orbitals include s, p, d, and f orbitals, each with distinct geometries.
p Orbitals
There is one s orbital and three p orbitals and five d orbitals in the third energy level.
In energy level three, there are four types of orbitals: s, p, d, and f. Specifically, the 3s and 3p orbitals are available, as well as the 3d orbitals, which start to fill at this energy level. The 3f orbitals do not exist in the third energy level; they begin in the fourth energy level. Thus, the total number of orbital types at energy level three is three: s, p, and d.
P orbitals can hold a total of 6 electrons. Each p orbital can accommodate 2 electrons, and there are three p orbitals (px, py, and pz) in a given energy level. Thus, the maximum capacity for p orbitals in an energy level is 3 orbitals × 2 electrons/orbital = 6 electrons.
three maximum starting from 3p
P orbitals at the same energy level have the same energy but differ in their spatial orientation. There are three p orbitals at each energy level (labeled as px, py, pz) that are oriented along the x, y, and z-axes, respectively. These orbitals have the same energy, but they have different spatial shapes and orientations.
The energy levels that do not have p orbitals are the first and second energy levels. The first energy level (n=1) contains only an s orbital, while the second energy level (n=2) has both s and p orbitals. Starting from the third energy level (n=3), s, p, and d orbitals are present.
There are a total of four orbitals that can exist at the second main energy level: one s orbital and three p orbitals. The second main energy level corresponds to the n=2 energy level in an atom according to the Aufbau principle.
The principal energy level is three, so there are three sublevels: 3s, 3p, and 3d. S,P and D
All three 2p orbitals (2px, 2py, 2pz) are occupied by two electrons each.(6 electrons in total: (2px2, 2py2, 2pz2) = 2p6)
In the principal energy level n = 3, there are s, p, and d orbitals. The s sublevel has 1 orbital, the p sublevel has 3 orbitals, and the d sublevel has 5 orbitals. These orbitals can hold up to a total of 18 electrons.
They can only have 1 S ORBITAL per energy level (1s, 2s, 3s...). Each S orbital consists of 2 electrons of opposite spin.
The 3 in the equation 4p3 represents the exponent or power to which the variable p is raised. It indicates that the variable p is multiplied by itself three times. In other words, it means p raised to the power of 3 or p cubed.
