The second orbit of an atom can hold up to 8 electrons.
The second electron level (n=2) can hold 8 electrons and consist of 4 orbitals. One S orbital which holds two electrons and three p orbitals each of which holds 2 electrons making 6 in all.
An atom with the first two electron orbitals completed would have 10 total electrons. The first electron orbital can hold up to 2 electrons (2 in the s subshell), and the second electron orbital can hold up to 8 electrons (2 in the s subshell and 6 in the p subshell).
Maximum capacity of electrons in f-orbitals is 14, so 4f orbitals may have 1 to 14 electrons.
Technetium has 43 electrons, so it has 43 orbitals.
The second energy level of atoms can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
The second shell in an atom contains 4 orbitals and can hold up to 8 electrons.
8 electrons. The second energy level (n=2) has 4 orbitals. One s orbital and three p orbitals. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons of opposite spin.
The electrons in beryllium occupy a total of four orbitals. Beryllium has 4 electrons, which fill the 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals.
14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.
Maximum of 8 electrons in second energy level.
The second electron level (n=2) can hold 8 electrons and consist of 4 orbitals. One S orbital which holds two electrons and three p orbitals each of which holds 2 electrons making 6 in all.
The second energy level (n =2 ) has 1 s orbtial, and 3 p orbitals. The s contains 2 electrons, and each p contains 2 electrons (for a total of 6 electrons in the 3 p orbitals). Thus, the second energy level can hold a maximum of EIGHT (8) electrons.

Lead has 82 electrons. It also has four valence electrons, two s- electrons and two p- electrons in its orbitals.
Most second period atoms have four valence electrons when they combine with other atoms to form molecules.
2
The second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. This level consists of one 2s orbital and three 2p orbitals, each capable of holding 2 electrons.
