Each orbital contains at maximum 2 electrons.
there is one s-orbital: 2 in this alone
there are three p-orbitals (px, py, pz) with 2 in each
there are five d-orbitals (dz2, dxz, dyz, dxy dx2-y2) with 2 in each
there are seven f-orbitals (fz3, fxz2, fyz2 ,fxyz ,fz(x2-y2) ,fx(x2-3y2) ,fy(3x2-y2) with 2 in each

Orbit surrounding an atom is allowed?
A limited number of electrons...
What is the maximum number of electrons that each of the fi rst three electron orbits can hold starting from the nucleus?
1st orbit - 2 2nd orbit - 8 3rd orbit - 8 all together all three orbits can hold up to 18 electrons.
What term describes elements that contain the saem number of valence electrons?
what term describes elements that contain the same number of valence electrons
What must a neutral atom with four protons contain?
A neutral atom must contain an equal number of electrons because it is a neutral atom.
Why don't electrons orbit around the atoms nucleus like planets orbit the sun?
do electrons orbit the nucleus like plantes orbit the sun?
What is the number of electrons contain by third orbit?
16
What is the number of electrons that can be held in the frist orbit?
Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
Number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
The second energy level (orbit) can hold 8 electrons.
Number of electrons in americium?
95 electrons, two of them are in the outer orbit.

What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
How many electrons surround the central Xe atom?
The atomic number from a periodic table is the number of electrons each known element has in its orbit. The atomic number of Xe is 54, therefore Xenon (Xe) has 54 electrons in its orbit.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbit?
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
In the current model of the atom the electrons are located in the?
They orbit around the nucleas of an atom, except in hydrogen atoms, which does not contain electrons at all.
How do the number of protons in the atomic nucleus normally compare to the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus?
The number of protons is usually the same as the number of electrons!:)
How many electrons orbit the nucleus if the atom has no charge?
If the atom has no charge, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons (atomic number).
Do isotopes contain more electrons than other Atoms?
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
