What is the maximum number of electrons that a single orbital can hold?

What is an orbital in chemistry?
An orbit can also be called an energy level, which can be found in an atom. When an atom is 'excited', its electrons move up energy levels, changing it's shape from an S-cloud (circular) to a P-cloud (hourglass). Then, the electrons settle and go bake to their natural state. An 'S' level can hold 2 electrons A 'P' level can hold 6 electrons A 'D' level can hold 10 electrons and an 'F' electron can hold 14 electrons
Maximum number of electrons in 2s orbital?
The 2p sub-level can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. The 2p sub-level is divided into 2px, 2py and 2pz. Each of those orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. There are 3 of them and thus 6 total for the 2p sub-level.
How many electrons can the S sublevel hold?
there are two electons in the s sublevel. It is the number of electrons that fit in the first orbital around an atom.
How many electrons can be placed in the second energy level?
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.
How many electrons can single orbital hold?
A single orbital can hold up to two electrons.
The number of electrons a single d orbital can hold is?
2. The five d orbitals can hold ten in total.
What is the maximum number of electrons that a single orbital can hold?
2
How many electrons cana s orbital of a given energy level hold?
Two electrons of opposite spin

What is the maximum number of s electrons that can exist in any one principal energy level?
2. The S sub-shell has one orbital and an orbital can hold a max of 2 electrons.
Does the inntermost orbital hold two electrons?
All orbitals hold a maximum of two electrons, including the innermost s orbital.
How many electrons can occupy a single molecular orbital?
Every orbital is different. 2 can occupy the first orbital then 8 can occupy mostly the rest. When you start getting really low on the periodic table orbitals start holding 16, but not till u get really low
What is the hightest number of electrons allowed in one orbital?
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
