6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital
The second orbit of an atom can hold up to 8 electrons.
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.
The 2,8,8,18 is how many elements are in each row of the periodic table. Each S orbital can hold 2, P orbitals can hold 3 6 (2 each in 3 total), D orbitals can hold 10 (2 each in 5 total), and F orbitals can hold 14 (2 each in 7 total).The first shell is just 1S, which can hold 2.The second shell is 2S, 2P which can hold 8 total (2+6)The third shell is 3S, 3P, 3D which can hold 18 total (2+6+10)The fourth shell is 4S, 4P, 4D, 4F which can hold 32 total (2+6+10+14)
There are 5 d orbitals which hold 2 electrons each. Thus, 10 electrons are needed to completely fill them.
6 electrons in 3 orbitals of p-sublevel: px, py and pz
10
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.
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.
Six in p orbital, in each sublevel of p (px, py, pz) there are two electrons at max.
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.
6
Six in p orbital, in each sublevel of p (px, py, pz) there are two electrons at max.
It hold 6 thre p orbital (Px Py Pz) and each one hold two so total is six electron can p orbital
The second orbit of an atom can hold up to 8 electrons.
If m sub l is three, then there can be 7 orbitals, since the l value (the one that corresponds to the orbitals) would be 3 (denoting the f orbital).
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons that are found in the outer most shell of an atom, and are consequently the electrons that move from atom to atom in the formation of compounds. The reason for this is a result of the electron configuration. A nitrogen atom has 3 orbitals; the 1s orbital, the 2s orbital, and the 2p orbital. In this case, the 2s and 2p orbitals are the valence orbitals, as they have the electrons with the most energy. With 7 protons, a neutral nitrogen atom has 7 electrons. The s orbitals can only hold 2 electrons, and the p orbitals can hold up to 6 electrons. The 1s orbital is filled first, leaving five electrons, then the 2s orbital is filled, leaving 3 electrons, and then these remaining electrons fill the 2p orbital halfway. There are a total of 5 electrons in the 2s and 2p orbitals, and since these orbitals have the most energy, there are 5 valence electrons.
