2 per (sub) orbital:

In total

2 in (the only) s orbital,

6 in (3x) p orbitals

10 in (5x) d orbitals

14 in (7x) f orbitals

18 in (9x) g orbitals

22 in (11x) h orbitals etc. etc. but the last ones are improbable to exist in 'our universe'

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is?

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is seven. These orbits are known as energy levels or electron shells, and electrons can occupy up to seven of them based on their energy level and distance from the nucleus.


What is the maximum number of orbits in an atom?

seven


What is the maximum number of orbits is an atom?

7 atoms


Is a electron located inside the nucleus of an atom?

No, they are located in the shells or orbits of an atom.


How many of atoms are in the 3rd shell of an atom with 4 shells?

If you are asking about the number of electrons then it would be 8. The first shell can hold a maximum number of 2 electrons. The second and third shell would have a maximum of 8 electrons each.


What is the atom that has four full orbits?

An atom with four full electron orbits is typically associated with the element Xenon (Xe), which has an atomic number of 54. In its ground state, Xenon has a complete set of electron shells (orbits) filled with electrons, including the first four energy levels. These filled shells contribute to its stability and inertness, characteristic of noble gases.


What is the maximum number of electron shells in an atom?

the number of electons found in each shell can be found by 2 n squared 1 shell would have 2 electrons


What is The Structure Of The Atom And The Position Of The Protons Neutrons And Electrons?

Protons and neutrons can be found in the centre of the atom in the nucleus. Electrons orbit round the nucleus in shells/orbits and are extremely small compared to the rest of the atom. Protons have a positive +1 charge and neutrons have no charge and are neutral. Electrons have a negative -1 charge. Protons and neutrons give the atom its mass. Each shell has a maximum number of electrons it can take. In the first shell it is 2. In all other shells (up to calcium) the maximum number is 8. An atom can gain or lose electrons, becoming what is known as an ion. An ion is nothing more than an electrically charged atom. Adding or removing electrons from an atom does not change which element it is, just its charge. The number of electrons equals the number of protons. The number of protons is the roton/atomic number. The number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the Atomic Mass from the atomic number (as the atomic mass it both the protons and neutrons combined.)


How many electron shells an electron can have?

the no. of electron shells in an atom varies for every element in the periodic table, depending on its no. of electrons in the atom. the no. of shells of an atom of an element ca be derived through the period of the periodic table. elements in the 1st period has only 1 shell and so forth.


What is the relationship between electron shells and orbitals in an atom?

Electron shells are energy levels where electrons are found in an atom, while orbitals are regions within those shells where electrons are most likely to be located. Each shell can contain multiple orbitals, and each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins. The number of shells and orbitals in an atom depends on the element and its atomic structure.


What is the name of the areas in which electrons are located in an atom?

The areas in which electrons are located in an atom are called electron shells or energy levels. These shells are designated by numbers (such as n = 1, 2, 3, etc.) and each shell can hold a specific number of electrons based on its energy level.


What orbits the nucleus atom?

Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. They move in specific energy levels called electron shells. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
