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.
For an atoms electrons how many energy sublevels are present in the principal energy level n 4?
It depends which n since n is the row (period) number. 1st n = 1-s subshell, 1 orbital, and 2 electrons. 2nd n = 2-s subshell with 1 orbital and 2 electrons + 2-p subshell with 3 orbitals and 6 electrons.
How many d orbitals can exist in a single subshell?
five
What is the difference of a one S subshell and three S subshell?
The 3s subshell is farther from the nucleus
What is difference between an s subshell and a d subshell orbital?
s subshell have energy more than d subshell

What is the maximum number of p orbitals that are possible?
Each of the p orbitals can hold 2 electrons due to the Pauli exclusion principle. Because there are 3 p orbitals in a given subshell, the overall p subshell can hold 6 electrons.
How many orbitals are found in the second shell?
If the question is an attempt to ask "How many orbitals are there with principal quantum number n = 2", then 4 orbitals which can hold a total of 8 electrons.
For an atoms electrons how many energy sublevels are present in the principal energy level n 4?
It depends which n since n is the row (period) number. 1st n = 1-s subshell, 1 orbital, and 2 electrons. 2nd n = 2-s subshell with 1 orbital and 2 electrons + 2-p subshell with 3 orbitals and 6 electrons.
The number of orbitals in a given subshell such as the 5d subshell is determined by the number of possible values of?
number of l
How many electrons canbe held in the second energy level?
The second energy level (n =2 ) has 1 s orbtial, and 3 p orbitals. The s contains 2 electrons, and each p contains 2 electrons (for a total of 6 electrons in the 3 p orbitals). Thus, the second energy level can hold a maximum of EIGHT (8) electrons.
What is the maximum number of unpaired electrons in the s subshell and the d subshell and the p subshell and f subshell?
d subshell = 2 p subshell = 6
How many d orbitals can exist in a single subshell?
five
How many f orbitals have n 6?
There are 2, the 2s and 2p subshells. The s subshell contains just one orbital and can hold only two electrons (of opposite spin) The p subshell contains 3 orbitals each of which can hold just 2 electrons (of opposite spin) making 6 electrons in all
What subshell has four orbitals of four lobes each plus a fifth one?
the d-sub shell has five orbitals
What is the difference of a one S subshell and three S subshell?
The 3s subshell is farther from the nucleus
What is difference between an s subshell and a d subshell orbital?
s subshell have energy more than d subshell
