What is the total number of orbitals containing only one electron in an atom of nitrogen in the ground state?
1
2
3
4


Sagot :

c is the answer. nitrogen is in subshell p and this subshell can hold 6 electrons therefore it has 3 orbitals. since nitrogen has three electrons in this subshell, only 1 electron is in each shell. hope that helps.

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Nitrogen is in subshell p which can only hold 6 electrons, therefore, it has three orbitals. Since Nitrogen has three electrons in this subshell, only one electron is in each orbital.
