what is the orbital notation for as?

Question

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
Orbital notation represents the distribution of electrons in orbitals. Arsenic (As) has an atomic number of 33. The electron configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}4s^{2}3d^{10}4p^{3}$. In orbital notation, we use boxes (or lines) to represent orbitals and arrows to represent electrons. For the $1s$ orbital: two electrons (opposite - spin arrows in one box). For $2s$: two electrons (opposite - spin arrows in one box). For $2p$ (three orbitals): each of the three $2p$ orbitals has two electrons (opposite - spin arrows in each of the three boxes). For $3s$: two electrons (opposite - spin arrows in one box). For $3p$ (three orbitals): each of the three $3p$ orbitals has two electrons (opposite - spin arrows in each of the three boxes). For $4s$: two electrons (opposite - spin arrows in one box). For $3d$ (five orbitals): each of the five $3d$ orbitals has two electrons (opposite - spin arrows in each of the five boxes). For $4p$ (three orbitals): each of the three $4p$ orbitals has one electron (arrows in the same direction in each of the three boxes) since electrons fill orbitals singly first (Hund's rule).

# Answer:
The orbital notation for As is:
$1s$: $\uparrow\downarrow$
$2s$: $\uparrow\downarrow$
$2p$: $\uparrow\downarrow$ $\uparrow\downarrow$ $\uparrow\downarrow$
$3s$: $\uparrow\downarrow$
$3p$: $\uparrow\downarrow$ $\uparrow\downarrow$ $\uparrow\downarrow$
$4s$: $\uparrow\downarrow$
$3d$: $\uparrow\downarrow$ $\uparrow\downarrow$ $\uparrow\downarrow$ $\uparrow\downarrow$ $\uparrow\downarrow$
$4p$: $\uparrow$ $\uparrow$ $\uparrow$
