If an atom has completed orbitals 1s, 2s and 2p, how many electrons in total are there and which element would it be?

Question 6 options:

	6 electrons : Carbon
	8 electrons : Oxygen
	9 electrons : Fluorine
	10 electrons : Neon

Solutions

Expert Solution

Since S orbital can hava 2 electrons and p orbital can have 6, the total number of electrons should be

2+2+6 = 10 electrons.

Hence the correct answer should be:

Option D) 10 electrons ; Neon.
