1s22s22p63s23p6 how many unpaired electrons are in the atom represented by the electron configuration above?

0

Explanation:

There are no unpaired electrons in the given element. It must be noted that for the atom above, we have even numbered electrons. The total electron we are having here is 18.

Now, we must also know that while the s orbital is not degenerate, the P orbital is degenerate. What this mean is that the p orbital is broken down into three different sub orbitals which is the Px , Py and Pz. Hence we can see that there are 6 electrons to enter into the P orbital too.

We can see that all the S orbitals have been completely filled with two electrons alike each. This is also the case for the P orbital as the 3 suborbitals take in 2 each to give a total of six
