Pauli stated in 1925 that two electrons can occupy the same orbital only if?

All other orbitals at the sub contain at least one electron


How many electrons maximum can be in one orbital?

There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).


How many elements does the s orbital have?

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.


What are the different sublevels and maximum number of electrons?

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


Why does electrons only revolve around nucleus why not neutrons or protons revolve?

Neutrons and protons make up the nucleus; therefore, they cannot revolve around the nucleus. Electrons, on the other hand, are on orbitals surrounding the nucleus. The number of orbitals and the number of electrons per orbital depend on the placement of the element on the periodic table, the atomic mass, the atomic number, etc. A maximum of eight electrons can be on one orbital.
