2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbital is 2: One with "Up" spin and one with "Down" spin.
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
of course they can. They have to be of opposite spin and two is the maximum number that can occupy one orbital.
Each orbital can accommodate two electrons. There is one s orbital per principal quantum number, so for any Ns orbital level there are a maximum of two electrons.
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
It depends what type of orbital these two electrons occupy. But there would be one arrow going up and one arrow going down to show two electrons in the same orbital.
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).
only if spins are opposite: one up one down.
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 ELECTRONS in one orbital. (An electron can only be in one orbital at once)
