The 3 in 4p3 represents:
a. third energy level
b. the number of electrons
c. period 3
d. the third sub level e. li

b. the number of electrons

Explanation:

1. 4 is the principal quantum number which describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n.

2. The electrons are present in p sub shell also called as azimuthal quantum Number: This quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For p orbital, l=1.

3. The p subshell contains 3 electrons.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
