Question

An atom of arsenic has how many electron-containing orbitals

Answer 1

Answer:

The Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals. The orbitals s, p and d.

Explanation:

Arsenic is an element with an atomic number equal of 33, it means that it has 33 electrons in its orbitals in the following way:

$1s^{2}$

$2s^{2}$

$2p^{6}$

$3s^{2}$

$3p^{6}$

$3d^{10}$

$4s^{2}$

$4p^{3}$

Therefore, the Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals (s, p d).
