As many as 6
The second energy level (n =2 ) has 1 s orbtial, and 3 p orbitals. The s contains 2 electrons, and each p contains 2 electrons (for a total of 6 electrons in the 3 p orbitals). Thus, the second energy level can hold a maximum of EIGHT (8) electrons.
1s = 2 + 2s & p = 8 + 3s & p & d = 18 + 4s & p & d & f = 32 { close to binary } + = Total is 60 electrons.
There are two subshells in the second energy level. There is the S subshell, which can hold 2 electrons, and the P subshell, which can hold 6 electrons.
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 fourth energy level can hold up to thirty-two (32) electrons.
The second energy level (n =2 ) has 1 s orbtial, and 3 p orbitals. The s contains 2 electrons, and each p contains 2 electrons (for a total of 6 electrons in the 3 p orbitals). Thus, the second energy level can hold a maximum of EIGHT (8) electrons.
1s = 2 + 2s & p = 8 + 3s & p & d = 18 + 4s & p & d & f = 32 { close to binary } + = Total is 60 electrons.
There are two subshells in the second energy level. There is the S subshell, which can hold 2 electrons, and the P subshell, which can hold 6 electrons.
The total number of electrons in Phosphorus (P) is 15 (its atomic number). The first energy level contains 2, the second energy level contains 8, and the third energy level contains 5.
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 fourth energy level can hold up to thirty-two (32) electrons.
6 p-shell electrons.
8 electrons. The second energy level (n=2) has 4 orbitals. One s orbital and three p orbitals. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons of opposite spin.
first energy level contains only S shell that can accomadate 2 electrons where as 2nd energy level contains S shell and P shell as well which can accomadate 2 and 6(3X2) electrons respectively..so the answer is 8 for 2nd energy level. (or) No.of electrons in any main energy level = 2n2 Here n = orbit (or energy level) number In our question , n = 2 No.of electrons in 2nd energy level = 2(2)2 = 8
