The maximum number of electrons in any s sublevel is 2, irrespective of what the principal quantum number, i.e., the number before the s in an electron configuration, may be.
In the ground state, a sodium atom in the second principal energy level has two sublevels completely occupied: the 2s and the 2p sublevels. The 2s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the 2p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
In the ground state of a chlorine atom, there are 3 occupied sublevels: 1s, 2s, and 2p. Each sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, giving a total of 2 + 2 + 6 = 10 electrons.
There are two sublevels in the second principle energy level. The s sublevel has one orbital and the p sublevel has 3, for a total of 4 orbitals.
Two. The ground state configuration of Sulfur is [Ne] 3s23p4. According to Hund's rule, the p orbitals must fill up separately first. This results in the first 3 electrons going into separate orbitals, and the fourth then doubles up with the first, leaving the other two p orbitals with unpaired electrons.
The highest occupied energy level in Beryllium is the 2s orbital. Beryllium has 4 electrons, with 2 electrons in the 1s orbital and 2 electrons in the 2s orbital.
The 2s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The 2s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The valence electrons in an atom of nitrogen (N) are found in the 2s and 2p sublevels. There are a total of 5 valence electrons in nitrogen, with 2 in the 2s sublevel and 3 in the 2p sublevel.
There are two energy sublevels in the second energy level - the s sublevel and the p sublevel. The s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while the p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
Levels 2p and 2s.
In the ground state, a sodium atom in the second principal energy level has two sublevels completely occupied: the 2s and the 2p sublevels. The 2s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the 2p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
2s: 2 electrons 5p: 6 4f: 14 3d: 10 4d: 10
The 2s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
In the ground state of a chlorine atom, there are 3 occupied sublevels: 1s, 2s, and 2p. Each sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, giving a total of 2 + 2 + 6 = 10 electrons.
If the s and p sublevels are filled in an atom of an element in period 3, then the orbitals filled in this atom would be 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, and 3p. Each s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while each p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
This statement is incorrect. In period 3 of the periodic table, elements have a varying number of electrons in their outermost energy level, ranging from 1 to 8 electrons.
There are 5 electrons in the highest occupied energy level of a nitrogen atom, since nitrogen has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p3. The 2p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, but nitrogen only has 3 in its 2p sublevel.
