    3 unpaired electrons can accommodate in 4 p subshell.

    Answer:Option A

    Explanation:

    Each orbits present in an element are further subdivided into different sub-shells. So each subshell can occupy specific number of electrons. The least subshell is the s shell. So the orbital quantum for s is l=0 and p is l = 1.

    When l=1, it can occupy maximum 6 electrons in its subshell. In case of unpaired electrons, it will 3 unpaired electrons in the subshell of p. So p subshell will be having 3 unpaired electrons and 6 paired electrons.
