This element has 3 electrons in its lewis dot structure and is in the 2p orbital section

Hen two electrons occupy the same orbital, they always have opposite spin. No other knowledge about electron spin is needed for A-level.) Only when the 2s is filled, can the 2p sub-level fill. With the next six elements (boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon) the three 2p orbitals are filled.
