Question

1. if an atom has one electron in its 3p subshell, how many total electrons does it have?

Explanation:

Step1: Electron configuration before 3p

The electron configuration before the 3p subshell is \(1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}\).

Step2: Add electrons in 3p

Since there is 1 electron in the 3p subshell.

Step3: Calculate total electrons

Sum up all the electrons: \(2 + 2+6 + 2+1=13\).

Answer:

13
