Question

What is the electron filling order on p orbital?

what is the electron filling order< is it px,py then pz?

Answer 1

lp orbitals fill after s and d orbitals The first three randomly populate each of the three p orbital before any of the three are filled with 2

Explanation:

p orbitals because of the more complex probability structure of the p orbital as compared to the s orbital are at a higher energy level than the s orbitals. The higher energy level of the p orbitals will cause the s orbitals to be filled first.

In a period the like the fourth series the 3d orbitals will be filled before the 4 p. The 3d have a higher energy level that the 3p. So much higher because to the even more complex probability structure of the 3d orbitals that the 3d orbitals fill up in the fourth period not the third.

Due to the Pauling exclusion principle all three p s will have a single electron before any of the three p's will have 2 electrons.
