Question:

Atoms with two unpaired electrons in the 3p sublevel?

What two atoms have two unpaired electrons in the 3p sublevel?Cl Al C Si P SThanks!

Answer:

read news papers , or doing social service both give mental satisfaction
watch cool youtube videos
Chlorine has 1 since it is one short of a full shellAluminum has 1 since it has just started filling the 3p subshellCarbon has 0 since it has no electrons in the 3p subshellSilicon has 2 since it has 2 electrons filling 2 different orbitalsPhosphorus has 3 since it is filling the 3p subshell, with 1 electron each in each orbitalSulfur has 2 since it has 1 pair of paired electrons, and 2 that are still separate in different orbitalsHence, the answers are Silicon and Sulfur, Si and S, respectively.
