plz explain how

sandeepdasari00: first write it's electronic configuration
GarimaNewly: yes .. its 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5
sandeepdasari00: haa it's valency is 3s² 3p^5
sandeepdasari00: the electrons are present in s&p orbitals
GarimaNewly: yes .. but answer key m answer 3 derkha h .. maybe its wrong written there
sandeepdasari00: the electrons are present in s&p orbitals
GarimaNewly: ohkkk thanku
sandeepdasari00: haa if you have doubt about it you can ask u r teacher
GarimaNewly: yaa sure .. thanku so much
sandeepdasari00: u r wlcm

2 orbitals(s&p) contains electron pairs
because it's valency electronic configuration is
3s^2 3p^5

The element is chlorine and
(Ne) 3s2 3p5 is it's outer electronic configuration.

Here 3s and 3p are subshells and each box in it which can hold a maximum of 2 electrons is called an 'Orbital'
