How many electrons are in a ground-state tellurium atom are inorbitals labeled b

Question

How many electrons are in a ground-state tellurium atom are inorbitals labeled by L= 1? I do not understand how to determine this? Pleaseexplain. I know how to determine ground states but I just cannot understand how to determine how many are in Just L-1orbitals.

Explanation / Answer

The configuration of a ground state Tellurium atom:1s2 2s2 2p6 3s23p6 4s2 3d10 4p65s2 4d10 5p4 I suppose you must be talking about l and not L l is the Azimuthal quantum number. l has values from 0 to (n-1) When l = 1, it indicates the 'p' sublevel. From the configuration, we can see that the total number of pelectrons = 6 + 6 + 6 + 4 = 22. Hence a total of 22 electrons are labelled by l=1.
