Well the formula for calculating the maximum amount of electrons that can be held in a shell of an atom is:
2(n)2
N being the shell number. For example:
2(1)2= 2 (the maximum amount of electrons for shell number 1)

What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 6s subshell?
6th energy level can hold 72 electrons. (has s,p,d,f,g, and h subshells)
What is the maximum number of electrons in the first shell?
2 electrons are found in the first electron shell.
What is the maximum number of electrons a p subshell can contain?
A p subshell can contain a maximum of 6 electrons.
Maximum number of electrons in 3p orbital?
The max. number of electrons that can fill the 3s orbital is 2.
What is the maximum number of electrons an element with two energy levels can have?
8 electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons in second electron level?
The maximum number is 8 electrons in the second shell.
The total number of electrons inan electron shell is reepresented by the formula 2n . is this correc?
The maximum number of electrons in a shell / energy level is given by 2n2.
What is the maximum number of electron found in the fourth main shell of an atom?
Use the formula n2 = max. number of electrons in shell. 42 = 16. 16 electrons.
Is 4 the maximum number of electrons that can occupy energy level 4?
No. Its 32 because the formula is 2n^2
What is the numbers of electrons in each shell?
According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 6s subshell?
6th energy level can hold 72 electrons. (has s,p,d,f,g, and h subshells)
What is the maximum number of electrons in the 2px orbital of an atom?
When n=2, you have an s orbital with 2 electrons, and you have 3 p orbitals each with 2 electrons (total of 6). So, total number of electrons for n=2 is 8 electrons.
What is the maximum number of valance electrons an element can have?
The maximum number is 8.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbit?
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
What is the maximum number of electrons that are contained in as s orbital?
An s orbital can have a maximum of two electrons.
What is the maximum of electrons that can occupy one orbital?
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
What is the maximum number of electrons which can be held in the fifth main shell?
50 electrons because the formula is given as 2n^2 2n^2 2 x 25= 50
