If three electrons are available to fill three empty 2p atomic orbitals, how will the electrons be distributed in the three orbitals? A-three in one orbital, none in the other two B-Three electrons cannot fill three empty 2p atomic orbitals. C-two electrons in one orbital, one in another, none in the third D-one electron in each orbital

D. One electron in each orbital

Explanation:

The 2p atomic orbital has three sub-orbitals. Each suborbital can hold a maximum of two electrons. So, the 2p orbital can hold a maximum of six electrons. Think of each orbital as a box. The three electrons will fill each orbital or box first before pairing with other electrons to reach a maximum of six electrons.

in february 1787, congress decided that a convention should be convened to revise the articles of confederation, the nation’s first constitution. in may, 55 delegates came to philadelphia, and the constitutional convention began. debates erupted over representation in congress, over slavery, and over the new executive branch. the debates continued through four hot and muggy months. but eventually the delegates reached compromises, and on september 17, they produced the u.s. constitution, replacing the articles with the governing document that has functioned effectively for more than 200 years.
