What is the number of electrons that can be held in the frist orbit?
Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
What number of electrons that can be held in first orbit closest to the nucleus?
The orbit or electron shell closest to the nucleus is the 1s sub-shell. It can hold 2 electrons before the 2s sub-shell is filled. H and He have their electrons in this shell (the 1s)
How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?
8 for the 3rd orbit Actually there are 8 for the second. there are 18 for the third.
What are the number of electron that can be held in the first orbit closest to the nucleus?
8
How are electrons held in orbit in their atoms?
Between electrons and the atomic nucleus a repulsion exist.
How many electrons held in the second orbit of oxygen?
6
Number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
The second energy level (orbit) can hold 8 electrons.
The number of electrons that can be held in the the third orbit.?
The Third Principal Energy Level can hold 2 e- in the S orbital and6 e- in the P sublevel. So there's a total of eight e- in all.
How many electrons held in the first orbit closest to the nucleus?
I think as more outer rings are added to the nucleus the number of electrons and protons double e.g I think first ring has 2 of each. 2nd ring has 4 of each. 3rd ring has 8 of each. This may not be true as it has been a few years since I have learned this. hey ppls
The number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
About 14 or less sometimes it changes just kidding about 14 bye thi was Nyahrules
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
the max is 2 for the first orbitthe max is 8 for the second orbitthe max is 8 for the thrid orbit too.User:HeleneM5500:06, 4 Sep 2009 (UTC)Electrons follow paths called orbits, shells, or levels. Each shell can hold a specific maximum number of electrons. Each electron possesses a definite amount of energy. The radius of the orbit depends on the amount of energy that electron has & on the attractive force the nucleus has for that electron. Bohr model of the atom (with main energy levels identified by number: 1 --> 7Shell #1 closest to nucleus can hold a maximum of 2 each.Shell #2 next shell outward can hold a maximum of 8 each.Shell #3 next shell outward for elements Z = 1 --> 20, this shell can hold a maximum of 8 e-, for all others a maximum of 18 each.
