6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital
The d sublevel consists of five orbitals that can hold a maximum of two electrons each. The total maximum number of electrons that the d sublevel can hold is 10 electrons.
The second shell in an atom contains 4 orbitals and can hold up to 8 electrons.
A d orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
The d sublevel consists of five orbitals that can hold a maximum of two electrons each. The total maximum number of electrons that the d sublevel can hold is 10 electrons.
The d orbitals can hold a total of 10 electrons. Each d orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons: one with spin up and one with spin down.
P orbitals can hold a total of 6 electrons. Each p orbital can accommodate 2 electrons, and there are three p orbitals (px, py, and pz) in a given energy level. Thus, the maximum capacity for p orbitals in an energy level is 3 orbitals × 2 electrons/orbital = 6 electrons.
A set of p type orbitals can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, with each p orbital able to hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is because there are three p orbitals (px, py, pz) available for electrons to occupy in a given energy level.
The second orbit of an atom can hold up to 8 electrons.
6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital
The d sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons. This sublevel consists of five orbitals, each of which can hold 2 electrons.
There is one subshell in the f orbital, which can hold a maximum of 14 electrons. This subshell has seven orbitals: 5f with each of the orbitals capable of holding 2 electrons.
Iodine has 7 electron-containing orbitals, corresponding to its 7 valence electrons in the p subshell. These orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons each.
