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.

Why antibonding orbital is higher in energy than bonding orbital?
antibonding molecular orbital have higher energy than bonding molecular orbital because in the word 'antibonding' there are more letters than in the word 'bonding'.. and hence antibonding molecular orbital has higher energy..
What is the difference in spatial distribution between electrons in a bonding MO and electrons in an antibonding MO?
Electrons in a bonding molecular orbital spend most of their time in the region between the two nuclei, helping to bond the atoms together. Electrons in an antibonding molecular orbital cannot occupy the central region between the nuclei and cannot contribute to bonding.
Is an antibonding orbital a molecular orbital whose energy is lower than that of the atomic orbital from which it is formed?

Why sulfur is paramagnetic in vapour state?
Because in vapour state it exists as S2 molecule and has 2 unpaired electrons in antibonding pi orbital and hence exhibit paramagnetism.
What is the difference between bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Electrons in a bonding orbital have lower energy levels than the average energy of a valence electrons in the isolated atoms between which the orbital is formed. Antibonding orbitals do not meet this criterion, so that anitbonding orbitals can be stable only in conjunction with bonding orbitals, whereas bonding orbitals can be formed without any accompanying antibonding orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is called bonding molecular orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the subtraction of atomic orbitals is called antibonding molecular orbitals.
Why antibonding orbital is higher in energy than bonding orbital?

Why dihelium does not exist?
Molecular orbitals: dihelium has two electrons in the bonding orbital and two in the antibonding orbital. That why it does not exists.
What is the difference in spatial distribution between electrons in a bonding MO and electrons in an antibonding MO?
Electrons in a bonding molecular orbital spend most of their time in the region between the two nuclei, helping to bond the atoms together. Electrons in an antibonding molecular orbital cannot occupy the central region between the nuclei and cannot contribute to bonding.
What is antibonding in chemistry?
Antibonding is a bonding in which the electrons are away from the nucleus and which is higher in energy.

How many electrons can be in the S orbital?
The S orbital contains a maximum of two electrons
What is conjucation?
In organic chemistry, hyperconjugation is the interaction of the electrons in a sigma bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty (or partially filled) non-bonding p-orbital, antibonding σ or π orbital, or filled π orbital, to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system.this info is taken by wikipedia
How many electrons can single orbital hold?
A single orbital can hold up to two electrons.
How many electrons are in the d orbital of Os3 plus?
There are 5 electrons in the d orbital of an Os3+ ion.
