Question

3a.How many electrons are predicted to be in the 4p orbital of a bromine (Br) atom?
5
b.How many of these electrons are predicted to be unpaired?
5

Answer 1

4P Shell. First we have 1s(2) 2s(2) 2p(6) 3s(2) 3p(6) 4s(2) 3d(10) 4p(6) 5s(2) 4d(10) 4p(5). Adding up the electrons (numbers in parenthesis) we get 53 electrons in the 4p shell (orbital) of Bromine (Br)

Answer 2

hope this helps

Answer 3

sooo if there are 53 in 4d then how many are unpaired?

Answer 4

well what do you think

Answer 5

if theres 53 electrons in 4 d of an orbital of a bromine how many can be impaired

Answer 6

The number impaired depends upon how many have ben drinking too much. Nothing more dangerous than an impaired electron.

Answer 7

sooo, how mony would be unpaired?

Answer 8

4p holds 5 electrons in the ground state with two orbitals having paired electrons and one orbital have an unpaired electron.

Br:[Ar]4(s^2)3(d^10)4(px^2)4(py^2)4(pz^1)
