I know you need to assume for a contradiction. The hard bit is the thing I can't do and that is show that if you do put $\mathbb{P}^2$ into $\mathbb{R}^3$ the path components of the complement are two pieces. I know from this it's an easy contradiction as then you would be able to orientate $\mathbb{P}^2$, which is impossible as it contains a Möbius strip.
Note, if you don't know what $\mathbb{P}^2$ is then it the sphere with the antipodal points equal i.e. same conguranchy
Also, is there a general pattern. Like can $\mathbb{P}^3$ be only embedded into $\mathbb{R}^5$
