What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy an f energy sublevel?
The f-suborbitals begin to be filled with the lanthanoids (atomic number 57-71). Each f-suborbital can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.
Equation that calculates the number of valence electrons given the atomic number?
The number of electrons in the valence shell can be determined by the maximum capacity of each orbital: 1:2 slots, 2:8 slots, 3:8 slots, 4:16 slots, 5:16 slots, 6:32 slots. For example, an atom with an atomic number of 12 would would have 2 electrons in the 3rd orbital (The first is filled up with 2 electrons, the second with 8, thus two are left over in the third).
How many electrons are in the outer ring of potassium?

What is the Maximum number of electrons into 4p orbital?
An orbital can only occupy maximum of 2 electrons. As p orbital consist of 3 orbitals. And has 3 orientations. Px, Py, Pz. So as there are 3 orbitals so p orbital can occupy at the maximum 6 electrons regardless of principle quantum no.. In 4p 4 is principle quantum no. So it represent 4p represent the p orbital of 4th shell. So it also occupy at the maximum of 6 electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbit?
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.

Does helium have the maximum number of valence electrons in its outer shell?
Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
Maximum number of electrons in 2s orbital?
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.
