There are five types of d-orbitals with 2 electrons maximum each.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe d sublevel has 5 orbitals, and each orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons, so the d sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.

How many electrons can 3d hold?
There are a maximum of 10 electrons in the 3d sub-level.
What element has 2 electrons in the 1s sub-level 2 electrons in the 2s sub-level and 2 electrons in the 2p sub-level?
Carbon
How many electrons can the S sublevel hold?
there are two electons in the s sublevel. It is the number of electrons that fit in the first orbital around an atom.
What is the number of electrons in the sub level d?
The maximum number of electrons in a 'D' sublevel is 10
How are the orbitals different in sublevels of the same principal energy level?
In every atom there are principle energy levels, sub-levels and atomic orbitals. The principle energy levels are often those first taught when studying chemistry. They correspond to how close the electrons are to the nucleus. The first principle energy level is closest to the nucleus and can hold a maximum of two electrons. The second principle energy level is slightly further away from the nucleus and can hold a maximum of eight electrons. The third energy level is even further away and can hold a maximum of ten electrons. Each principle energy level is comprised of different sub-levels: s, p, d and f. The s sub-level can hold a maximum of two electrons; , p a maximum of 6; d, a maximum of 10 and f, a maximum of 14 (although the f sub-level is only present in the lanthanide and actanide series). Sub-levels all have different energies and electrons fill sub-levels in order of lowest energy to highest. The first principle energy level has one sub-level, the 1s sub-level. The second principle energy level has two sub-levels, 2s and 2p. The third principle energy level has three sub-levels, 3s 3p and 3d. (However, the 4s sub-level is filled before the 3d sub-level, which is a different matter which cannot be explained quite so simply.) Now, each sub-level is comprised of atomic orbitals which define the approximate boundaries of the electron orbit. Each orbital can hold up to two electrons, so a s sub-level has one orbital; a p sub-level has three orbitals; a d sub-level has five orbitals and a f sub-level has seven. This explanation is really quite brief as there is so much more information concerned with principle energy levels, sub-levels and atomic orbitals.

8
How man electrons does s sub shell hold?
2 electrons.
How many electrons are located in the 2p sub level in a ground-state nitrogen atom?
I believe there are 3 electrons
How many electrons can the S sublevel hold?
there are two electons in the s sublevel. It is the number of electrons that fit in the first orbital around an atom.
How many electron are occupy in energy sub level?
there is a maximum of 6 electrons in the 'p'sublevel
What is the number of electrons in the sub level d?
The maximum number of electrons in a 'D' sublevel is 10
What is the highest sub level electron occupy in uranium 238?
The highest sub level electrons occupy in a Uranium-238 atom is a f-sub level.
How many different sub level are in the first energy level?
By the first principle energy level I assume you are referring to the lowest atomic orbital or ta principal quantum number of 1. This orbital holds 1 pair of 2 electrons.
What is the maximum number of s electrons that can exist in any one principal energy level?
2. The S sub-shell has one orbital and an orbital can hold a max of 2 electrons.
