Q: Number of unpaired electrons in the nitrogen atom.
A: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6. 3 unpaired electrons in the p orbital
Q: Number of 4d orbitals.
A: 10
Q: Maximum number of electrons that can have n=3 and l=1.
A: 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6. 2 electrons
#1. The answer is correct at 3 but your electron configuration is not right. You have 10 electrons and N has only 7.
#2. not correct.
#3. 2 electrons is right but what's with the electron configuration? I see no need for that and certainly no use for it.
To determine the number of unpaired electrons in the nitrogen atom, you need to know its electron configuration. The electron configuration of nitrogen is written as 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3.
To find the number of unpaired electrons, you need to determine the number of electrons in the p orbital. In this case, there are 3 electrons in the 2p orbital. Since there are only 2 electrons required to fill a p orbital completely, there is one unpaired electron in the nitrogen atom.
For the question about the number of 4d orbitals, each d sublevel (including 4d) can hold a maximum of 10 electrons. Therefore, there are 10 4d orbitals.
In the case of the maximum number of electrons that can have n=3 and l=1, you need to understand the quantum numbers n and l. The quantum number n represents the principal energy level or shell, while the quantum number l represents the sublevel or orbital type.
When n=3 and l=1, it corresponds to the 3p sublevel. The p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, with 2 electrons in each px, py, and pz orbital. Therefore, the maximum number of electrons that can have n=3 and l=1 is 2.
