1st energy has 1 sublevel -- 1 orbital -- 2 electrons
2nd energy level has 2 sublevels -- 4 orbitals -- 8 e-
3rd energy level has 3 sublevels -- 9 orbitals -- 18 e-
4th energy level has 4 sublevels -- 16 orbitals -- 32 e-
Notice the pattern? number of orbitals = energy level squared
Number of electrons = 2x number of orbitals

What is the total number of electrons in the orbitals of each energy level of a HCl?
1
Describe the formation of this bond and the total number of electrons in the orbitals of each energy level?
describe the formation of this bond and the total number of electrons in theorbitals of each energy level.
How many 2p orbitals are there and what is the number of electrons they can hold?
There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.
Why are orbitals of the same energy level degenerate?
The reason that orbitals of the same energy level degeneracy is due to similar molecular structure. The orbitals contains electrons that cancel each other out.
How many electrons can be placed in the second energy level?
8 electrons. The second energy level (n=2) has 4 orbitals. One s orbital and three p orbitals. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons of opposite spin.

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 2p sublevel?
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals?
The maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals is 14.-pg. 110 Modern Chemistry table 2:)
How many 2p orbitals are there and what is the number of electrons they can hold?
There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.
What is the maximum number of dorbitals in a principal energy level?
1s orbital 3P, 5d, and 7f in discovered elements
Why are orbitals of the same energy level degenerate?
The reason that orbitals of the same energy level degeneracy is due to similar molecular structure. The orbitals contains electrons that cancel each other out.
How many d orbitals can there be in an energ level?
They can only have 1 S ORBITAL per energy level (1s, 2s, 3s...). Each S orbital consists of 2 electrons of opposite spin.
What is the maximum number of electrons possible in a set of 5f orbitals?
Any orbital can only contain a maximum of 2 electrons. The 5d energy level contains 5 orbitals - 5dxy 5dxz 5dyz 5d(x2-y2) and 5(dz2) each of which can contain a maximum of two electrons, so there are 10 total electrons in the set of 5 d orbitals.
How many electrons can occupy each of the following energy levels?
10
How many electrons can be placed in the second energy level?
8 electrons. The second energy level (n=2) has 4 orbitals. One s orbital and three p orbitals. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons of opposite spin.
How many s orbitals d orbitals and f orbital are there?
s = 2 electrons p = 6 electrons d = 10 electrons f = 14 electrons Each single s orbital has two electrons in it. Each p orbital has two electrons in it and as there are three of these orbitals in a p subshell, the total electron number is six. d has five orbitals in its subshell, containing ten electrons (two in each orbital) when full, which form a dumbell-esque shape. f has seven orbitals each containing two electrons.
