Question
9cw1
the letter p in the symbol ( 4 p ^ { 3 } ) indicates the
( \bigcirc ) speed of an electron
( \bigcirc ) spin of an electron
( \bigcirc ) principle energy level
( \bigcirc ) orbital shape
In electron configuration notation, the letter represents the orbital shape. For example, s - spherical, p - dumbbell - shaped. The number (4 in \(4p^{3}\)) is the principal energy level. Spin is represented by up/down arrows in orbital diagrams and has no relation to the letter in this notation. Electron speed is not indicated in this standard electron - configuration symbol.
