The p orbitals can hold a total of 6 electrons, with 2 electrons in each of the three p orbitals (px, py, pz).
Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The third shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
Sulfur has 6 electrons in its outer energy level. This means it needs 2 more electrons to fill its outer energy level, for a total of 8 electrons.
Its atomic number is 7, and so it needs a further 3 electrons to fill its outer shell.
An orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons to fill it. This rule is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.
Krypton has 8 valence electrons.
Argon belongs to period 3. So it has 3 orbits with 2, 8 and 8 electrons.
no. of electrons to fill an energy level = 2n2. = 2x32 = 18
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
Magnesium has 3 electron orbits. The first orbit can hold up to 2 electrons, the second orbit can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third orbit can hold up to 8 electrons.
There 8 electrons in the second shell.
8 electrons
Carbon needs 4 electrons to fill up its outer shell. It has 4 valence electrons and can achieve a full octet by gaining 4 more electrons.
18
The 6s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
4 to fill the 2p shell
