Hey there!:

The 1s, 2s and 2p subshells are completely filled (a maximum of two electrons go into the 1s subshell and a maximum of two electrons go into the 2s subshell.  The 2p subshell includes 3 orbitals, with 2 electrons maximum per orbital).  The 3s subshell has only one of a maximum of two electrons.

Hope that helps!

The number of orbitals that are completely full is 5.

The reason you may have thought it was 3 is because you're confusing orbitals with subshells.

In this electron configuration, the sub shells are:  1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^1

So, we have four sub shells.

Each sub shell consists of a specific number of orbitals. s subshells have one orbital, p subshells have three orbitals, d subshells have five orbitals, and f subshells have seven orbitals. Knowing this, we can look back at the electron configuration we were given and determine how many orbitals are filled.

1s^2 has one orbital, 2s^2 has one orbital, 2p^6 has three orbitals, and 3s^1 has one orbital. The first three subshells are completely full, so a total of five orbitals are full.

How does the creation of oil demonstrate conservation of mass?
Contact [7]

Answer:

In the conservation of mass, mass (which is the same as energy) can never be created or destroyed in the same way oil is formed from the remains of small animals and plants that died and fell to the bottom of the sea and their mass (energy) is conserved as oil.
