How many elements can the 3rd shell hold?

The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.


How many valence electrons can an element have?

up to 120 elements 14 can be the maximum no. of valence electrons if any element with atomic no.greater than 120 is discovered its maximum no. of valence electrons would be 18


How many elements does the s orbital have?

Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.


What elements completes the 2s sublevel?

The 2s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.


What is the maximum number of valence electrons that an atom can have excluding hydrogen helium and beryllium?

The maximum number of valence electrons that an atom can have is 7, as seen in elements such as fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. These elements are in group 7A of the periodic table, also known as the halogens.


In most elements the valence shell holds a maximum of how many electrons?

In most elements, the valence shell holds a maximum of 8 electrons. This is known as the octet rule, where atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons, making them more stable.


What is the maximum number of electrons that a representative element can possess?

The maximum number of electrons that a representative element can possess is 8. This is because the outermost electron shell of these elements can hold a maximum of 8 electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What is the maximum number of valance electrons an element can have?

The maximum number of valence electrons an element can have is 8. This is because the outermost energy level, or valence shell, of an atom can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Exceptions to this rule can occur for elements that can have more than 8 electrons in their valence shell through the process of expanded octet.


Why does the d block have only 10 elements?

The d block has only 10 elements because the d sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons due to its 5 orbitals, each with a paired electron. This results in a maximum of 5 d orbitals accommodating a total of 10 electrons in the d block elements.


How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level in Group 8A?

Group 8A elements have 8 valence electrons. This means that the highest occupied energy level in Group 8A elements will have 8 electrons, as the maximum number of electrons in an energy level is 8 based on the octet rule.
