2p

Answer 1

1s 2s 2p

Step-by-step explanation:

In a neutral carbon atom, the 1s sublevel has one orbital with two electrons with opposite spins, represented by the arrows pointing in opposite directions. The 2s sublevel also has one orbital with two electrons, also with opposite spins. The 2p sublevel has three orbitals.
