(a)
Interpretation: To calculate the no. of filled p-orbitals in the element.
Concept introduction:
The electron configuration of an element defines how its electrons are arranged throughout its atomic orbitals. Standard notation is used to represent atomic electron configurations, placing all electron-containing atomic subshells in sequential order. The number of electrons held by the subshell is indicated by superscript.
