How many electrons can be in the S orbital?

The S orbital contains a maximum of two electrons


How many elements does the first energy level s orbitals contains?

The first energy level contains one s orbital, which can hold up to two electrons.


How many elements does the s orbital have?

Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.


The first period in the periodic table represents elements that possess only the first energy level s orbital therefore this period contains?

Two elements


The first period on the periodic table represents elements that possess only the first energy level s orbital therefore this period contains?

two


How many elements make up period 1?

Only two: hydrogen and helium. This corresponds to the fact that there can be only two s orbital electrons in any electron shell, and the first shell has only s orbital electrons.


What does the blocks represent?

For the elements in the s-block, the valence electrons are filled in the s orbital.


The first period in the periodic table represents elements that possess only the first energy level s orbital therefore this period contains elements?

with an electron configuration that fills up to 2 electrons in their outermost energy level. This includes hydrogen and helium, which have one and two electrons in their outermost s orbital, respectively.


Why is the s-block called s-block?

The elements in the s-block have their last electrons in their electron configuration in the s-orbital.


Are elements arranged according to blocks corresponding to the orbitals being filled?

Yes, elements are arranged in the periodic table according to blocks that correspond to the orbitals being filled. For example, the s-block elements fill the s-orbital, the p-block elements fill the p-orbital, the d-block elements fill the d-orbital, and the f-block elements fill the f-orbital. This organization provides a structured way to represent the electron configurations of elements.


What are the electron levels?

Electrons don't have levels. They have shells and orbitals. Each shell contains certain orbitals. For example, the first shell contains only the s orbital. The second contains the s and p orbital. The fourth shell has the s, p, and d orbitals.


Each elecrton orbital can contain a maximum number of how many electrons?

Each orbital contains maximum or 2 electrons. you could be either asking for this OR s orbital contains maximum of 2 electrons (has 1 orbitals) p orbital contains maximum of 6 electrons (has 3 orbitals) d orbital contains maximum of 10 electrons (has 5 orbitals)
