Achemistry student writes the molecular formula for sodium phosphate as na3p1o4. although this version of the formula is acceptable, how is the formula more typically written?

Although the formula written by the students is acceptable, the chemical formula of the substance is typically written as Na3PO4. Its name is sodium phosphate. It is more favorable to write it as Na3PO4 since in this way you will know how the atoms are bonded and what ions are involved in the substance.

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.
