Px, Py, Pz
When do you know when to use Px, Py, and Pz respectively? Is it okay to, when writing the electron configuration, to just generalize it as just P?

Re: Px, Py, Pz [ENDORSED]
Using P is the same thing as using Px, Py, and Pz. It just helps to use Px, Py, and Pz so that you can fully see how the electrons fill the orbitals. Doing it this way makes it easier to see the lone pairs of electrons.
