Okay, Meshack, let's tackle these.

b) State the total number of electrons found in the p orbitals of this atom.
This question refers to the atom from the previous question (11), which was Sodium (Na) with the electronic configuration 1s22s22p63s11s^22s^22p^63s^1.

  1. Identify the p orbitals in the electronic configuration.

    The p orbital shown is 2p62p^6.

  2. Count the electrons in the p orbitals.

    The superscript '6' indicates there are 6 electrons in the $2p$ orbital.
    The total number of electrons found in the p orbitals of Sodium is 6.

    4. State two effects of drug abuse on an individual's health.
    Here are two effects:

    • Damage to vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, brain, or heart.
    • Mental health issues like depression, anxiety, paranoia, or psychosis.
