Question

(Please someone help me it’s urgent) I need to pass this

Here is the electron configuration for Arsenic. What does the superscript 3 in 4pº tell
us?
Ar: 152 252 2p 352 3p6 452 310 4p3

Answer 1

The superscript 3 in 4pº tell that there are 3 electrons in this orbital

Further explanation

In an atom there are levels of energy in the shell and sub shell

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d, and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub-shell is

• s: 2 electrons

• p: 6 electrons

• d: 10 electrons and

• f: 14 electrons

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.

Arsenic is an element with the symbol As, which has an atomic number of 33 and a mass number of 75

Electron configuration of As : [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p³

Each superscript shows the number of electrons that occupy each orbital

For the p orbital there are a maximum of 6 electrons, while the 4p³ orbital shows that there are 3 electrons in this orbital
