How many places are there for electrons in the third shell of an atom?
The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. This shell consists of three subshells - s, p, and d - with each subshell being able to accommodate a certain number of electrons. The s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons, and the d subshell can hold up to 10 electrons, totaling 18 electrons in the third shell.
How many electrons can 3rd shell hold?
In (3s2 3p6 3d10) = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electrons in the 3rd shell (3(s+p+d))
The first energy of an atom can hold . electrons?
I assume you are referring to valence electrons (the "outermost" shell varies widely in the number of electrons it can hold, the valence electrons are a subset of this which are responsible for chemical bonding and reactivity).The number of valence electrons can only be from 1 electron to 8 electrons, these are divided between the s and p orbitals of a shell (each orbital can hold no more than 2 electrons).
How many electrons fill the first 3 shells before electrons move to the next shell?
It would have 2 electron shells because the first shell can only hold up to two electrons and the second shell will be responsible for the rest of them.
How many electrons does a K shell L shell M shell and N shell o p shell have?
Maximum number of electrons = 2n2, where n is the number of shell (n = 1 for K, 2 for L, 3 for M, and so on) K shell has 2 electrons maximum L shell has 8 electrons maximum M shell has 18 electrons maximum N shell has 32 electrons maximum O shell has 50 electrons maximum P shell has 72 electrons maximum

How many electrons does a 4p sublevel hold?
the p subshell has 3 orbitals. Each Orbital can hold 2 electrons with opposite spins. therefore the p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
How many electrons are in the outermost shell of atom?
in the outer shell there is only aloud it be 8 electrons. Really it depends on the Element because metals have 4 or less Electrons in the outer ring. But nonmetals have 8 or less. So in order to know how many electrons there are you have to find out which Element you are wanting to know about.
How many electrons can the outer level of an atom hold?
an atom has different energy orbitals: s, p, d, and f. each orbital can hold two electrons. the outside energy or highest energy levels of electrons is called the valence shell or valence electrons. for an atom to be stable it wants the electron configuration for the valence shell to be "s2, p6." to answer your question the outer level of an atom can hold 8 electrons. it is called the valence shell.

How many electrons are in the outer shell of P in the compound PCl5?
10
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 does a K shell L shell M shell and N shell o p shell have?
Maximum number of electrons = 2n2, where n is the number of shell (n = 1 for K, 2 for L, 3 for M, and so on) K shell has 2 electrons maximum L shell has 8 electrons maximum M shell has 18 electrons maximum N shell has 32 electrons maximum O shell has 50 electrons maximum P shell has 72 electrons maximum
Does a set of p orbitals with the same principal quantum number hold a maximum of 6 electrons?
No it can only hold up to 2. You have a rule for finding the maximum of electrons in every single shell. It is 2 *(shellnumber)2. Shell number 1 = 2 electrons Shell number 2 = 8 electrons Shell number 3 = 18 electrons Shell number 4 = 32 electrons Shell number 5 = 50 electrons Shell number 6 = 72 electrons Shell number 7 = 98 electrons Shell number above does for the moment not exist.
What is electron configuration and valence electrons?
Mostly they are s or p electron sub-orbitals in the same (outer) shell. In the transition metals sometimes one electron from a higher d orbital gets involved ( e.g. to reach the oxidation states Fe2+ and Fe3+).
