Hund's rule:

"Two electrons cannot share the same set of quantum numbers within the same system."

There is room for only two electrons in each spatial orbital (according to Pauli exclusion principle, mentioned in question).

Hund's rule states that an orbital can contain two electrons only if?

all other orbitals at that sublevel contain at least one electron (plato :P)


Can an orbital contain a maximum of 2 electrons?

Yes, an orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons. This is due to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers. Therefore, if two electrons occupy the same orbital, they must have opposite spins, allowing the orbital to hold only two electrons at most.


What is the maximum nuber of electrons that every electron orbital can hold?

The maximum number of electrons that a single orbital can hold is 2. This is due to the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons with opposite spins.


Why electrons pairing start with only 2p orbital in P subshell?

Electrons pair in the 2p orbital first because each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and pairing allows for greater stability due to electron-electron repulsion being minimized. Additionally, electron pairing in the 2p orbital follows Hund's rule, which states that electrons fill degenerate orbitals singly before pairing up.


How many electrons in the 7s orbital?

There is one 7s orbital with two sub-orbitals: 7s(+1/2) and 7s(-1/2) . A picture of this 7s orbital is in 'Related links'


What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy orbital?

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbital A.?

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbital is two. This is due to the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers. Therefore, one orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, each with opposite spins.


How many electrons fill each orbital?

s-orbital = 2e- (s) orbital can hold 2 electrons, each with opposite spin. p-orbital = 6e- (p) orbital can hold 6 electrons in 3 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each d-orbital = 10e- (d) orbital can hold 10 electrons in 5 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each f-orbital = 14e- (f) orbital can hold 14 electrons in 7 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each


How many electrons can a single orbital hold in the 3d level?

Yes a single orbital in the 3d level can hold 2 electrons.


What is the electron capacity of any orbital?

it depends on which orbital: 1: 2 2: 8 3: 18 4: 32 5: 50 6: 72 7: 98 despite the large capacities, atoms will typically attempt to maintain 8 valence electrons.


How many atomic form they require to electrons to fill the orbital?

An orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons to fill it. This rule is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.


When can two electrons occupy the same orbital according to Pauli's exclusion principle?

Two electrons can occupy the same orbital if they have opposite spins. Pauli's exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers, which include spin.
