s contains one orbital with a maximum of 2 electrons p contains three orbitals with a maximum of 6 electrons d contains five orbitals with a maximum of 10 electrons f contains seven orbital with a maximum of 14 electrons
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).
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.
In any orbital the maximum number of electrons is 2 of opposite spin. The following is a list of the different types of orbitals and the maximum nuber of electrons each type can contain. s-orbitals: one orbital, containing 2 electrons p-orbitals: three (px, py, pz) containing 6 in total d-orbitals: five, containing 10 f-orbitals: seven containing 14
Two: One spinning clock wise and the other counter clockwise s=2 p=6 d=10 f=14
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
2 ELECTRONS in one orbital. (An electron can only be in one orbital at once)
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
of course they can. They have to be of opposite spin and two is the maximum number that can occupy one orbital.
s contains one orbital with a maximum of 2 electrons p contains three orbitals with a maximum of 6 electrons d contains five orbitals with a maximum of 10 electrons f contains seven orbital with a maximum of 14 electrons
2. The S sub-shell has one orbital and an orbital can hold a max of 2 electrons.
The 2p sub-level can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. The 2p sub-level is divided into 2px, 2py and 2pz. Each of those orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. There are 3 of them and thus 6 total for the 2p sub-level.
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).
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.
2. Two electrons of opposite spin. This is true of all s, p, d, f g.... orbitals, eah can only contain two electrons of opposite spin.
In any orbital the maximum number of electrons is 2 of opposite spin. The following is a list of the different types of orbitals and the maximum nuber of electrons each type can contain. s-orbitals: one orbital, containing 2 electrons p-orbitals: three (px, py, pz) containing 6 in total d-orbitals: five, containing 10 f-orbitals: seven containing 14
