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.
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 5s orbital is 2. This is based on the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 2s orbital is 2. This is because the s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, following the Pauli exclusion principle which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.
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.
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.
2 ELECTRONS in one orbital. (An electron can only be in one orbital at once)
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
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.
