2
<b>right</b>
2) How many are "p" electrons?
4
<b>I think the electron configuration for <sub>6</sub>C is 1s2 2s2 2p2 so the answer can't be 4</b>
3)How many (total) electrons in carbon are paired?
2
<b>Looking at my electron configuration above the 1s2 are paired and the 2s2 are paired and that makes 4 electrons total. Right? </b>
4) How many are unpaired?
1
If C has 6 electrons and 4 are paired, that leaves 2 that are unpaired. Right? Those are the 1 in Px and 1 in Py.</b>
