Why does beryllium have four electrons?
In the excited state of Beryllium the electron configuration is Be = 1s2 2s1 2p1 this is caused by one electron from 2s orbital jumping to 2p orbital to create a new orbital to allow maximum bond capacity. Maximum bond capacity is mostly used in hybridization in organic chemistry. The two new orbitals that have 1 electrons need to get a pair so each can pair with 1 electron thus making Beryllium bond with 2 electrons.
How many electrons would you need to fill the outermost ring of hydrogen?
The outermost ring of hydrogen, or the first energy level, can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
What are the different sublevels and maximum number of electrons?
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
Why does the top period only have two elements?
Because there are only two elemets whose electrons fill up the first shell of electrons. Hydrogen: 1 proton, 1 elecrton. Helium: 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons. The next on the table, lithium, has 3 electrons, going into the next shell of electrons. The maximum the first shell can hold is two, and helium fills it all, therefore being a stable element and not combining with anything. Hydrogen, on the other hand can combine with elements that have 1 less electron in their last shell. An example of this is oxygen with seven electrons in its last shell. Oxygen creates water with hydrogen.
What is the maximum number of electrons that the orbitals can hold all together?
Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.

How many electrons does hydrogen have to fill its outer shell?
Hydrogen has one electron. Its outer shell the first energy level has just one orbital, 1s which could hold a maximum of 2 electrons, so hydrogen only partially fills the level.
What is the rule?
atoms either loose or gain a maximum of 2 valence electrons like hydrogen
How many electrons would you need to fill the outermost ring of hydrogen?
The outermost ring of hydrogen, or the first energy level, can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy 5d subshells?
In any shell excluding shell1, there is only 1 s orbital and 1 p orbital. Subshells and the Orbitals are same. Orbital g is known as subshell 5. g orbital is present shell 6. But till today no element is discovered with an electron in g orbital.
What are the different sublevels and maximum number of electrons?
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
How many electrons would hydrogen require to fill up the first shell?
hydrogen has only one shell and since it has atomic number one, its net number of electrons is one. the first shell can hold maximum of 2 electrons due to the bohr bury formula. so the number of electrons in its first shell is 1. to fill it 1 electrons are required which can be gained from any metal.
Can the first shell have less electorns than the maximum number?
yes, the first shell has 2 slots for electrons. Hydrogen has only 1 electron.
What is the maximum number of electrons that are contained in as s orbital?
An s orbital can have a maximum of two electrons.
What is the maximum of electrons that can occupy one orbital?
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
What is the upper extreme to a box- and- whisker plot?
THe maximum observed (excluding any outliers).
When the maximum number of electrons is an energy level it is said to be what level?
The electrons on the outermost level are called Valence electrons. the usual maximum is 8.
