How many electrons can go into a orbital?

Answer 1

In an atom, electrons are in "shells", the first shell is around the center of the atom and holds a maximum of 2 electrons. Each subsequent shell out, will hold a maximum of 8 electrons. there is no maximum number of shells.

Answer 2

Each orbital can only hold two electrons, one with a positive spin and one with a negative spin. Each subshell can have multiple orbitals and there are often multiple subshells within a shell.

Answer 3

The electron orbitals are "s, p, d, and f". The "s" can hold 2 electrons, the "p" can hold 6, the "d" can hold 10 and the "f" can hold 14.

Answer 4

Each orbital in an atom can hold no more than two electrons, and they must be opposed in spin.

Answer 5

Any orbital can only contain a maximum of two electrons.

Answer 6

Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons due to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.
