How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?
8 for the 3rd orbit Actually there are 8 for the second. there are 18 for the third.
What is the difference between bound and free electrons?
Bound electrons are the electrons locked in orbit of the atom which are held in orbit by its attraction to the positive charge of the proton(s) in the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge. Conversely, the free electrons are electrons that are not orbiting the nucleus of an atom normally in the form of static electricity. Valence electrons are the electrons orbiting the outermost shell of the atom are weakly held by the positive proton charges and can be transferred to or shared with one or more other atoms. Valence electrons are bound until they are freed by some outside force or reaction.
The number of electrons determines what of an element?
The number of loosely held electrons determines the reactivity of an element. Other elements attract electrons and will react also.
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.
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.
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 held in the second orbit of oxygen?
6
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?
8 for the 3rd orbit Actually there are 8 for the second. there are 18 for the third.
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)
How are electrons held in orbit in their atoms?
Between electrons and the atomic nucleus a repulsion exist.
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.
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.
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
