Each atom of lithium will have 3 electrons. Two electrons will fill the 1s orbital, and the third electron will occupy the 2s orbital, following the electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^1.

How many atoms / electron clouds does helium have ?
The elements in the s-block have their last electrons in their electron configuration in the s-orbital.
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus best represents the probability distribution of finding electrons in an atom. This model is described by quantum mechanics and helps to visualize the regions where electrons are most likely to be found in an atom.
Calcium's outermost electrons occupy the 4s orbital.
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
of course they can. They have to be of opposite spin and two is the maximum number that can occupy one orbital.
there r 2 electrons in the s orbital, their r 6 electrons in p orbital , their r 10 electron's in the d orbital and 14 electrons in f orbital.
The orbital diagram for boron, which has an atomic number of 5, shows the distribution of its electrons in atomic orbitals. Boron has a total of 5 electrons: two occupy the 1s orbital (1s²), two occupy the 2s orbital (2s²), and one occupies the 2p orbital (2p¹). In the orbital diagram, the 1s and 2s orbitals are filled completely, while the 2p orbital has one electron, typically represented with an upward arrow. This configuration reflects boron's position in the periodic table and its chemical properties.
Hund's rule is the principle that within a sublevel, electrons prefer to occupy orbitals singly and with parallel spins before pairing up. This minimizes electron-electron repulsions and stabilizes the atom.
Fluorine in its elemental stage has 1 unpaired electron. ( 2p5 orbital has one unpaired electron in 2p orbital)
