They will be distributed in the 5 orbitals (not 3) so that each orbital has one electron, and the electron spins will all be in the same direction (usually shown by arrows all pointing up, or all pointing down. That's the answer according to "Hund's rules", which might sound familiar.

B the 1st orbital can carry a optimal of two electrons and the 2d will take 8 earlier a 0.33 orbital is used. it incredibly is with the aid of the fact an atom is attempting to alter into solid by way of having 8 electrons in its outer orbital aside from Helium which in basic terms has one orbital and subsequently can in basic terms have 2 electrons in its outer orbital.

In the isolated atom or ion, they will spread out as much as possible with their spins in the same direction; one electron in each orbital
In compounds, depends how strongly the ion interacts with its environment.
