How many electrons can the 5th energy level hold?

Answer 1

8, it goes 2 in the first shell then 8 in all the others until your electron count is up if it ends up with less than a full outer shell then it is looking to combine with another atom who has electrons to spare

Answer 2

The maximum number of electrons that the 5th energy level can hold is 50 electrons. Different atoms can have 1, or 2, or 3, or more electrons in their 5th energy level, up to the maximum of 50 electrons.

Answer 3

The way to work this out is to work out what orbitals are present in the fifth level.

Its all to do with quantum numbers. Each orbital typ s.p,d etc is described by two quantum numbers n (principal) and l (azimuthal). The possible values of l deprnd on the value of n and could be (n-1), (n-2), (n-3) etc.

l= 0 is the s orbital, l=2 is the p orbital, etc.

So for each principal quantum number n there are always n different obital types starting at s.

Level 1 - 1s

Level 2s, 2p

Level 3 3s, 3p, 3d

So for level 5 we can have five types of orbital., s, p, d f, g orbitals

The number of orbitals in each subshell are (and theres an easy pattern to spot here)

s1

p3

d 5

f 7

g 9

So at the fifth energy level we have 25 orbitals which can hold 50 electrons.

Answer 4

For fermium: 30 electrons.

Answer 5

30 electrons

Answer 6

110 electrons

Answer 7

50 since 2(n^2) and n= the energy level

Answer 8

At this level fermium has 30 electrons.

Answer 9

50
