If you mean 'orbital' then 2. Every orbital holds 2. If you mean energy level one, then it also happens to be 2.

Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
The orbit or electron shell closest to the nucleus is the 1s sub-shell. It can hold 2 electrons before the 2s sub-shell is filled. H and He have their electrons in this shell (the 1s)
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
the max is 2 for the first orbitthe max is 8 for the second orbitthe max is 8 for the thrid orbit too.User:HeleneM5500:06, 4 Sep 2009 (UTC)Electrons follow paths called orbits, shells, or levels. Each shell can hold a specific maximum number of electrons. Each electron possesses a definite amount of energy. The radius of the orbit depends on the amount of energy that electron has & on the attractive force the nucleus has for that electron. Bohr model of the atom (with main energy levels identified by number: 1 --> 7Shell #1 closest to nucleus can hold a maximum of 2 each.Shell #2 next shell outward can hold a maximum of 8 each.Shell #3 next shell outward for elements Z = 1 --> 20, this shell can hold a maximum of 8 e-, for all others a maximum of 18 each.
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in the third orbit of an atom is 18. This is based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of the orbit. For the third orbit (n=3), the maximum number of electrons is 2 x 3^2 = 18.
First ionization energy
Electron holding power refers to the attraction between a negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus in an atom. This force holds the electron in orbit around the nucleus, maintaining the stability of the atom. Electrons are held in specific energy levels, known as electron shells, based on this holding power.
The second energy level (orbit) can hold 8 electrons.

About 14 or less sometimes it changes just kidding about 14 bye thi was Nyahrules
