<span>The copper would go under oxidation since it will be losing two electrons. Copper starts out with an oxidation number of zero, but in order to balance the compound of CuO with the Oxygen having an oxidation number of -2, a positive 2 is required</span>
The correct answer is option A. Three, dumbbell.
The p sublevel has __three_orbitals that are _dunmbbell_-shaped.
The three orbitals of the p sublevel are oriented in three directions along the x, y and Z axis. The orbitals are called px, py and pz. Each p orbital can have a maximum of 2 electrons. Since there are three p orbitals, the p sublevel can have a maximum of 6 electrons.
