How many electrons can 3rd shell hold?
In (3s2 3p6 3d10) = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electrons in the 3rd shell (3(s+p+d))
How many electrons can shell p hold?
P stands for Principal shell and it can hold 6 electrons.
How many total electrons can the p hold?
Six in p orbital, in each sublevel of p (px, py, pz) there are two electrons at max.
How many places are there for electrons in the third shell of an atom?
The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. This shell consists of three subshells - s, p, and d - with each subshell being able to accommodate a certain number of electrons. The s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons, and the d subshell can hold up to 10 electrons, totaling 18 electrons in the third shell.
How many number of orbitals are present in each sub level?
In chemistry, sub orbitals are the paths that electrons follow in the shells. They go in this order: s (x1) p(x6) d (x10) and f (x14) (It is very important that they are in lower case) There is only 1 's' orbital in each shell. Shell 1: 's': 2 electrons Shell 2: 's' and 'p': 8 electrons. etc Remember that electrons fill up the smaller sub orbitals first, so if electrons have to choose between 'f' and 's' they will always choose 's' . Hope that helps!
How many p orbitals are occupied by electrons in lead?
Lead has 82 electrons. It also has four valence electrons, two s- electrons and two p- electrons in its orbitals.
How many s electrons does P (atomic number 15) possess?
Phosphorus (neutral atom) has 15 electrons.
How many electrons does phosphorus P- have?
P has 15 electrons P- has 16 electrons (but isn't stable)
What do atoms that have the s and p sublevels filled with eight electrons have?
Atoms, like Neon (Ne), that have the s and p sublevels filled with either electrons are said to have an "octet" of electrons.
How many electrons canbe held in the second energy level?
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.
How many electrons does the oxygen atom need to became stable?
It needs two electrons. Then it would have ten electrons, which would mean full s- and p-orbitals.
How many electrons can 3rd shell hold?
In (3s2 3p6 3d10) = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electrons in the 3rd shell (3(s+p+d))
How many electrons can each orbitals hold?
s holds 2 electrons (e-)p holds 6 electrons (e-)d holds 10 electrons (e-)f holds 14 electrons (e-)This is true if you mean orbitals and not orbits.
How many electrons go in the first second and third orbitals?
Two (2) electrons (s shell)Eight (8) electrons (2 in s, 6 in p)Eighteen (18) electrons (2 in s, 6 in p, 10 in d)The periodic table PDF at Los Alamos National Laboratory is pretty good and has the shell configurations. See related link.
How many electrons can shell p hold?
P stands for Principal shell and it can hold 6 electrons.
How many valence electrons does phosphourus has?
P has 5 valence electrons
How many electrons can the second level hold?
The n = 2 level of hydrogen can hold eight total electrons--6 in the p shells and 2 in the s shells.
