The second principle energy level is the energy level that comes after the first principle energy level. The second energy level is farther from the atomic nucleus and contains the 2s and 2p sublevels.

Which electrons in oxygen have more energy those in the first level or those in the second?
More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.
Which electrons in oxygen have more energy those in the first energy level or in the second?
More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.
How many electrons are in the second energy level of a boron atom?
A boron atom has three electrons in its second energy level.
How are the orbitals different in sublevels of the same principal energy level?
In every atom there are principle energy levels, sub-levels and atomic orbitals. The principle energy levels are often those first taught when studying chemistry. They correspond to how close the electrons are to the nucleus. The first principle energy level is closest to the nucleus and can hold a maximum of two electrons. The second principle energy level is slightly further away from the nucleus and can hold a maximum of eight electrons. The third energy level is even further away and can hold a maximum of ten electrons. Each principle energy level is comprised of different sub-levels: s, p, d and f. The s sub-level can hold a maximum of two electrons; , p a maximum of 6; d, a maximum of 10 and f, a maximum of 14 (although the f sub-level is only present in the lanthanide and actanide series). Sub-levels all have different energies and electrons fill sub-levels in order of lowest energy to highest. The first principle energy level has one sub-level, the 1s sub-level. The second principle energy level has two sub-levels, 2s and 2p. The third principle energy level has three sub-levels, 3s 3p and 3d. (However, the 4s sub-level is filled before the 3d sub-level, which is a different matter which cannot be explained quite so simply.) Now, each sub-level is comprised of atomic orbitals which define the approximate boundaries of the electron orbit. Each orbital can hold up to two electrons, so a s sub-level has one orbital; a p sub-level has three orbitals; a d sub-level has five orbitals and a f sub-level has seven. This explanation is really quite brief as there is so much more information concerned with principle energy levels, sub-levels and atomic orbitals.
8 electrons found in this energy level?
128 electrons could fit in the 8th energy level.
How many Energy sublevel are in the second principle energy level?
2 the s and p sublevels
What is the principle energy level of strontium?
The outermost principle energy level for strontium is the 5th energy level.
If an electron is in the second energy level in which type of orbitals could this electron be in?
If an electron is in the second principle energy level, that is, n = 2, then that electron could be in an s or p orbital.
How many energy sublevels are in the second principle energy level?
By the first principle energy level I assume you are referring to the lowest atomic orbital or ta principal quantum number of 1. This orbital holds 1 pair of 2 electrons.
What does the first principle energy level of the hydrogen atom contain?
s orbital.
What is the maximum number of electron in the second principle energy level?
The maximum number of electrons in the second principle energy level (n=2) is 8. This can be determined from 2(n^2) which for n=2 would be 2 x 4 = 8. It can also be seen by writing the electron configuration for n=2 which would be 2s2 2p6 for a total of 8 electrons.
What is the maximum number of orbitals in a principle energy level?
3
Which principle energy level contains only s and p sublevels?
Level 2
How many electrons are in the second energy level of magnesium?
There are six electrons are in the second energy level of magneisum. A further two are on the first energy level and the last two are on the third energy level.
Which electrons in oxygen have more energy those in the first level or those in the second?
More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.
How many orbitals are in second energy level?
There are two sublevels in the second principle energy level. The s sublevel has one orbital and the p sublevel has 3, for a total of 4 orbitals.
What is the maximum number of d orbitals in a principle energy level?
3
