How many electrons can p orbitals hold?
It hold 6 thre p orbital (Px Py Pz) and each one hold two so total is six electron can p orbital
Number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
The second energy level (orbit) can hold 8 electrons.
What is the difference between electron cloud and electron dot diagram?
Actually the terms orbitals and shells are NOT interchangeable. The electron shell refers to the distance away from the nucleus, with each addition of a shell adding more possibilities for electron placement. The orbitals are actually within each shell. This is proven through the fact that the shells and orbital capacities are not the same. For example, the first shell can hold 2 electrons, the second shell can hold 8, and the third shell can hold 18. The first orbital, s, can hold 2 electrons. The second orbital, p, can hold 6 electrons. The third oribital, d, can hold 10 electrons; therefore not being the same as the shells.
Which sublevel will contain electrons with the greatest energy?
Among all the subshells present in a given shell, f-subshell has the highest energy.
How many valence electrons do Halogens have in p subshell orbitals?
Halogens have 5 electrons in their outermost p shell in their electrically balanced state. The p shell has 3 orbitals in each energy level. Halogens have 2 filled orbitals each with 2 electrons in them and one orbital with only one electron in it. In order to obtain the stable noble gas electron configuration, halogens gain one electron to completely fill the p shell on the outermost energy level. This gives halogens a charge of -1.
How many electrons can p orbitals hold?
It hold 6 thre p orbital (Px Py Pz) and each one hold two so total is six electron can p orbital
How many total electrons can the p hold?
Six in p orbital, in each sublevel of p (px, py, pz) there are two electrons at max.
How many p electrons are possible in any orbital?
6 electrons can ocupy the 2p, 3p, 4p, and so on. each p subshell has 3 orbitals, and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, so each p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons total.
Why can a p sublevel hold 6 electrons while the s sublevel can hold no more than 2 electrons?
because sublevel p has 3 orbital and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons meanwhile sublevel s only has 1 orbital and each can hold 2 electrons therefore sublevel p can hold more
How many total electrons can the orbitals hold?
Six in p orbital, in each sublevel of p (px, py, pz) there are two electrons at max.
How many total electrons can the p orbitals hold?
Six in p orbital, in each sublevel of p (px, py, pz) there are two electrons at max.
How many electrons fill each orbital?
s-orbital = 2e- (s) orbital can hold 2 electrons, each with opposite spin. p-orbital = 6e- (p) orbital can hold 6 electrons in 3 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each d-orbital = 10e- (d) orbital can hold 10 electrons in 5 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each f-orbital = 14e- (f) orbital can hold 14 electrons in 7 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each
How many electrons can go into a orbital?
In an atom, electrons are in "shells", the first shell is around the center of the atom and holds a maximum of 2 electrons. Each subsequent shell out, will hold a maximum of 8 electrons. there is no maximum number of shells.
How many electrons are in an antibonding orbital?
The first orbit only has an S orbital. The S orbital can hold 2 electron. The second orbit has s and p orbitals. The p orbital can hold 8 electrons The third orbit has s, p, and d orbitals. The d orbital hold 10 electrons giving a total of 18. However the 3d orbital has a higher energy level than 4s so the 4s orbital is filled with electrons before you can put electrons in the 3d orbital. The fourth orbital has s,p,d,and f. The f orbital can hold 14 electrons. This gives a total of 32 electrons. However the 4f orbital is higher in energy than the 5s, 5p, and 62 orbitals. Therefore these orbitals must be filled first. The fifth, sixth and seventh orbitals are similar to the fourth.
How many total electrons can P orbitals hold?
6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital
How many electrons can occupy a single molecular orbital?
Every orbital is different. 2 can occupy the first orbital then 8 can occupy mostly the rest. When you start getting really low on the periodic table orbitals start holding 16, but not till u get really low
Why 2 electrons are present in s orbital?
It is not the orbital that holds more electrons. All orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.However, the p-subshell can hold more electrons than the s-subshell. This is because the s-subshell is only made of 1 orbital, and 1 x 2 = 2, therefore it can only hold 2 electrons. The p-subshell is made of 3 orbitals, and 3 x 2 = 6, so it can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.So, a p-subshell can hold more electrons than an s-subshell because it is made up of more orbitals. It is not the orbitals that hold more electrons.
