Mr.Bright...The p_orbital contains 6_electrons,bt in the equation...the p_orbital contain 3 electrons which means dat it still needs mre three to complete its orbital.

how many boxes do d and f have

there are two answers, because if it's orbitals we're talking about, 3 is right, but in the normal structure of an atom, there would be 5 unpaired electrons on the outermost shell, so maybe it should be specified

you guys picked 3 and chose 4, damn poo

The answer should be 5, i saw similar question that they specifically ask that how many unpaired electron 8s in the the p orbital

The answer is meant to be 5 cause one will have to consider the coefficient of the orbitals not in All cases but in some cases where the last two orbitals shares common coefficient.
Now the last two orbitals has common coefficient which will lead to the addition of the electrons
Thanks.

d answer should b A-5
