How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?
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.
How many electrons can be held in the energy level?
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in an energy level is given by the 2n^2 rule, where n is the principal quantum number of the energy level. So, for example, the first energy level (n=1) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second energy level (n=2) can hold a maximum of 8 electrons, and so on.
How are the electrons held into place within the atom?
They aren't held IN atoms. They are held AROUND atoms. Yet, the answer you seek is still simple. The Protons of any given atom contain a positive charge value of +1. Each Electron carries a negative charge of -1. These opposites attract, and that's why the Electrons stay in place.
The number of electrons determines what of an element?
The number of electrons in an element determines its chemical properties and behavior. Specifically, it influences how an element will bond with other elements to form compounds and determines its reactivity.
Which number is equal to the number of protons in the atom?
Nothing in an atom has the same number of electrons. Instead, all atoms are composed of protons (+1 charge) and electrons (-1 charge), and most atoms also have neutrons (no charge). The protons and neutrons are held together in a small cluster at the center of the atom called the nucleus and the number of protons identifies the type of atom (hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, etc.) The electrons move about the nucleus in volumes of space called orbitals and for neutral atoms the number of protons and electrons is the same. If the number of protons and electrons is not the same the atom has a net positive or negative charge and we call it an ion.
What is the number of electrons that can be held in the frist orbit?
Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?
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.

What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
Number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
The second energy level (orbit) can hold 8 electrons.
What is the number of electron's that can be held in the second orbit?
8
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in an atom's second energy level is?
2
What number of electrons that can be held in first orbit closest to the nucleus?
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)
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
the max is 2 for the first orbitthe max is 8 for the second orbitthe max is 8 for the thrid orbit too.User:HeleneM5500:06, 4 Sep 2009 (UTC)Electrons follow paths called orbits, shells, or levels. Each shell can hold a specific maximum number of electrons. Each electron possesses a definite amount of energy. The radius of the orbit depends on the amount of energy that electron has & on the attractive force the nucleus has for that electron. Bohr model of the atom (with main energy levels identified by number: 1 --> 7Shell #1 closest to nucleus can hold a maximum of 2 each.Shell #2 next shell outward can hold a maximum of 8 each.Shell #3 next shell outward for elements Z = 1 --> 20, this shell can hold a maximum of 8 e-, for all others a maximum of 18 each.
How are electrons held in orbit in their atoms?
Between electrons and the atomic nucleus a repulsion exist.
How many electrons are held in the second energy level?
A total number of 8 electrons. Two in the 2s orbital and six in the 2p orbital
The number of electrons that can be held in the the third orbit.?
The Third Principal Energy Level can hold 2 e- in the S orbital and6 e- in the P sublevel. So there's a total of eight e- in all.
