the relation is that the vertical rows are known by the number of shells of an atom filled wth electrons

it is called period

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

How many electrons can occupy the 4f sublevel?

The elements in period 4 that have electrons in the 3d sublevel are elements 21 - 36. Refer to the Related Links for a printable periodic table that includes electron configurations.


If a shell can hold a maximum of 32 electrons what is the value of n?

The value of n for 32 electrons would be n = 4. The relationship is 2n^2 = # electrons. So, 2n^x = 32 and x = 4.


Why does the number of elements in successive periods on the periodic table increase by the progression 2 8 18 32?

As we go down the periodic table the number of electron shells goes on increasing by 1 and the periods are numbered according to the number of shells present in the atom of elements in that period. The maximum number of electrons in a shell is given by the formula, e=2n2 (where, e-maximum no. of electrons; n-the nth shell counted from the nucleus). So, the 1st shell has maximum 2, the 2nd 8, 3rd 18 and so on. Every period starts with a new shell and as we go across the periods from left to right one by one electron goes on adding to the same shell. Thus the maximum no. of electrons for a shell is present in the last atom of that period and no. of elements in a period is equal to the maximum no. of electrons for that period. So, the number of elements in successive periods goes like 2, 8, 18, 32 and so on.


Maximum number of electrons in 2s orbital?

The 2p sub-level can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. The 2p sub-level is divided into 2px, 2py and 2pz. Each of those orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. There are 3 of them and thus 6 total for the 2p sub-level.

What is the maximum number of electrons found in any shell of the known elements?

A nucleus can have up to seven shells and the maximum each shell can hold is 2N^2. The maximum number of electrons found in any shell of known elements is 32.


How many valence electrons can an element have?

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 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.

s contains one orbital with a maximum of 2 electrons p contains three orbitals with a maximum of 6 electrons d contains five orbitals with a maximum of 10 electrons f contains seven orbital with a maximum of 14 electrons


Why are there only 10 elements in the d row in the periodic table?

because d orbitals can hold maximum of 10 electrons. so only 10 elements possible for each shell


What do the same elements in a column have in common?

What is another word for noble gases?

Another word for a noble gas is an inert gas. These elements have the maximum electrons in their highest energy level.


If a shell can hold a maximum of 32 electrons what is the value of n?

The value of n for 32 electrons would be n = 4. The relationship is 2n^2 = # electrons. So, 2n^x = 32 and x = 4.
