the max is 2 for the first orbit
the max is 8 for the second orbit
the max is 8 for the thrid orbit too.

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 --> 7
Shell #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.

∙ 15y agoIn the current model, two electrons can be held in both the 1s and 2s orbits. The 2s orbit is the second orbit and the 1s orbit is closest to the nucleus. In Bohr's model (which is taught in basic chemistry), the first orbit contains two electrons and all orbits thereafter contain 8 electrons.

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
How many electrons can be held in the second energy level of atoms and how can this be determined?
first energy level contains only S shell that can accomadate 2 electrons where as 2nd energy level contains S shell and P shell as well which can accomadate 2 and 6(3X2) electrons respectively..so the answer is 8 for 2nd energy level. (or) No.of electrons in any main energy level = 2n2 Here n = orbit (or energy level) number In our question , n = 2 No.of electrons in 2nd energy level = 2(2)2 = 8
What is the effect of electrons held loosely?
__________ electrons are loosely held to a positive nucleus.
How are the planets held in orbit?
Most people don't think this but planets are actually held in orbit by gravity. With out gravity the planets will fall down.

What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?

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 second orbit?
About 14 or less sometimes it changes just kidding about 14 bye thi was Nyahrules
What is the number of electron's that can be held in the second orbit?
8
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)
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in an atom's second energy level is?
2
How are electrons held in orbit in their atoms?
Between electrons and the atomic nucleus a repulsion exist.
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 are held in the second energy level?
A total number of 8 electrons. Two in the 2s orbital and six in the 2p orbital
