What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?
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.
The number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
About 14 or less sometimes it changes just kidding about 14 bye thi was Nyahrules
What number of electrons that can be held in first orbit closest to the nucleus?
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)
How are electrons held in orbit in their atoms?
Between electrons and the atomic nucleus a repulsion exist.
How many electrons held in the second orbit of oxygen?
6
The number of electrons that can be held in the the third orbit.?
The Third Principal Energy Level can hold 2 e- in the S orbital and6 e- in the P sublevel. So there's a total of eight e- in all.
Why are the electrons held in orbit?
Because they are the outer electrons in an atom and they orbit around the nucleus. But you should ask a scientist this question. NOT put it on ask.com. OR look it up on google.com. it is very likely that you will find something there.
Number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
The second energy level (orbit) can hold 8 electrons.
What is the number of electron's that can be held in the second orbit?
8
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
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.
Number of electrons held closet to nucleus?
2 electrons are held closest to the nucleus, after that the maximum per shell is eight.
