The maximum number of electrons in the second principle energy level (n=2) is 8. This can be determined from 2(n^2) which for n=2 would be 2 x 4 = 8. It can also be seen by writing the electron configuration for n=2 which would be 2s2 2p6 for a total of 8 electrons.

What is the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the principal energy level n4?
The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the principal energy level n = 4 is 32.
How many electrons are required to fill the first shell?
The number of electrons in a shell is 2n2, where n=shell number. So for the first shell, there is a maximum of 2 electrons.
What is the number of the principal energy level in which of the valence electrons are found?
the inner energy level of an atom has a maximum # of
What is the valence energy level of an atom and how many electrons can it hold?
The maximum number of electrons in an energy level (and I assume you mean energy shell- with a principal quantum number) is 2n2 where n is the princiapl quantum number This gives the numebr per level of 2, 8, 18, 32, 50
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 the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the principal energy level n4?
The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the principal energy level n = 4 is 32.

What is the maximum number of electrons in an atom whose highest-energy electrons have the principal quantum number 4 and the angular-momentum quantum number 0?
is the answer 32 electrons
How many electrons can an atom's fourth outer energy level contain?
The fourth outer energy level of an atom can contain a maximum of 32 electrons. This is because each energy level can hold a maximum of 2n^2 electrons, where n is the principal quantum number of the energy level. In this case, the fourth energy level has a principal quantum number of 4, so it can hold 2(4^2) = 32 electrons.
What is the maximum number of d ortitals in a principal energy level?
D has 5 orbitals and can be filled with up to 10 electrons.

yes.they have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
How many electrons are required to fill the first shell?
The number of electrons in a shell is 2n2, where n=shell number. So for the first shell, there is a maximum of 2 electrons.
