There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.
The second shell in an atom contains 4 orbitals and can hold up to 8 electrons.
Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.
The d orbitals can hold a total of 10 electrons. Each d orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons: one with spin up and one with spin down.
A set of p type orbitals can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, with each p orbital able to hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is because there are three p orbitals (px, py, pz) available for electrons to occupy in a given energy level.
In a cadmium atom, all 27 s orbitals are filled with electrons. Cadmium has 48 electrons, and the s sublevel can hold a total of 2 electrons per orbital, so 27 orbitals are needed to accommodate all the electrons.
The d sublevel consists of five orbitals that can hold a maximum of two electrons each. The total maximum number of electrons that the d sublevel can hold is 10 electrons.
The d sublevel consists of five orbitals that can hold a maximum of two electrons each. The total maximum number of electrons that the d sublevel can hold is 10 electrons.
The second shell in an atom contains 4 orbitals and can hold up to 8 electrons.
