NEED HELP ASAP! BRAINLEST + THANKS!
if three electrons are available to fill three empty 6p atomic orbitals, how will the electrons be distributed in the three orbitals
a.) one electron in each orbital
b.)two electrons in one orbital, one in another, none in third
c.) three in one orbital, one in other two
d.) cannot be predicted, determined by random chance

Answer 1

Answer:

A) one electron in each orbital

Explanation:

Orbitals get electrons one at a time. If there are three electrons and three empty orbitals, then one electron will go into one orbital!
