What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
What is the maximum number of electrons in the l- orbit of an atom?
Iodine has 7 valence electrons. I- contains 8 valence electron.
If M-shell can occupy 18 electrons but in potassium there are 8 electrons in M -shell why?
we know that 1st shell contain 2 electrons 2nd shell 8 electrons but third shell have to contains 18 electrons but the maximum no. of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8 electrons...... by yhell
What is the maximum number of electrons in the second principal energy level?
The maximum number of electrons in the second principle energy level (n=2) is 8. This can be determined from 2(n^2) which for n=2 would be 2 x 4 = 8. It can also be seen by writing the electron configuration for n=2 which would be 2s2 2p6 for a total of 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.
What is the maximum number of electrons that each of the fi rst three electron orbits can hold starting from the nucleus?
1st orbit - 2 2nd orbit - 8 3rd orbit - 8 all together all three orbits can hold up to 18 electrons.
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 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.
Number of electrons in americium?
95 electrons, two of them are in the outer orbit.
Is it true that Each orbit is limited to a maximum of four electrons?
False!! ~KAILEN APRIL
Orbit surrounding an atom is allowed?
A limited number of electrons...
How many electrons are in the second energy of the atom?
According to the Bohr's atomic model the number of electrons present in a orbit can be defined by p(n.n) i.e p.n square,where n=number of orbit.hence we can calculate the number of electrons present in second orbit i.e 8.
