    The total number of electrons present in all the p-orbitals of bromine is :

    A)  7

    B)  17

    C)  27

    D)  37

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Write electronic configuration o/Br atom according to aufbau rule and count number electrons of p-orbitals. Br, atomic number is 35. Configuration of bromine is       \[1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}},3{{p}^{6}},4{{s}^{2}},3{{d}^{10}},4{{p}^{5}}\] \[\therefore \] Total p electrons in Br = 6 + 6 + 5 = 17
