    Elements with three p-electrons ...

    That would be N, P, As, Sb, and Bi - - elements in group 15

    For example, energy diagram showing "empty" orbitals up through the 3p.

    1s __

    2s ↑↓

    1s ↑↓

    According to Hund's rule, the electrons singly occupy the p-orbitals, and all have the same spin.
