Answer 1

Answer:

An orbital when filled with minimum one electron less from its maximum strength for holding total number of electrons in it will be called as partially filled atomic orbital/s

Explanation:

Like for eg, for Boron(B), its electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p¹

Here 2p atomic orbital is partially filled, since it can contain a maximum of 6 electrons in it.

Answer 2

Answer:

half filled orbital are called partially filled orbital

example nitrogen -1s²2s²3p³

here number of electrons that can be filled in p orbital is 6 but here 3 only is filled so it is called as partially filled p orbital
