The first orbital has only an s orbital, which has room for 2 electrons. The second orbital has s and p orbitals, which have room for 2 and 6 electrons respectively. The 3rd orbital has s, p, and d orbitals, which have room for 2, 6, and 10 electrons respectively. Hope that helps
The number of electrons per orbit in an atom is determined by the energy level of the orbit. Each orbit can hold a maximum number of electrons, with the first orbit holding up to 2 electrons, the second holding up to 8 electrons, the third holding up to 18 electrons, and so on.
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in the third orbit of an atom is 18. This is based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of the orbit. For the third orbit (n=3), the maximum number of electrons is 2 x 3^2 = 18.
The largest Bohr orbit of the uranium atom can hold up to 92 electrons, as uranium has 92 protons. Each orbit in an atom can hold a maximum number of electrons given by the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of the orbit.
A neutral atom of oxygen has 6 electrons in it's most outer orbit. Generally, if you count horizontally from left-to-right on the periodic table, you get the number of electrons in its' most outer orbit. You start every row with 1, of course. :) Hope that helps!
The formula to determine the number of electrons in an energy level is 2n2, where n is the number of the energy level. For the fifth energy level, n=5. So the total number of electrons possible in the fifth energy level is 2(52) = 50.
Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
2 electrons maximum. 1s2

In a lead atom, the number of electrons in each orbit are as follows: 2 electrons in the first orbit (closest to the nucleus) 8 electrons in the second orbit 18 electrons in the third orbit 32 electrons in the fourth orbit
95 electrons, two of them are in the outer orbit.
The orbit or electron shell closest to the nucleus is the 1s sub-shell. It can hold 2 electrons before the 2s sub-shell is filled. H and He have their electrons in this shell (the 1s)
A neutral atom of lithium has an electron configuration of 2,1. This means it has 1 electron in its outer shell.

The maximum number of electrons that can be held in the third orbit of an atom is 18. This is based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of the orbit. For the third orbit (n=3), the maximum number of electrons is 2 x 3^2 = 18.
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
The number of protons is usually the same as the number of electrons!:)
Oxygen, with a electron number of 8 there are two electrons on the first orbit ring and six an the outer ring(shell) those are the valence electrons
