Question 8 • SVHS Chemistry 1 $FA
Arsenic has atomic number 33, so its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³. The 3d subshell can hold 10 electrons and the 4s subshell can hold 2, so both are completely filled. The 4p subshell can hold 6 electrons, but arsenic has only 3 there, so it is partially filled. Thus, the statement that the 3d and 4s orbitals are completely filled and the 4p orbital is partially filled is correct.
