How many e- are present in p-orbitals in Zn atom?
Correct answer: B. 12
- A. 2
- B. 12
- C. 6
- D. 18
Explanation
The electronic configuration of Zinc (Zn) can be written as: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰.This electronic configuration shows that Zn has 12 electrons in p subshells.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
