It's actually 6 not 2. 2 I believe, followed by D which holds 4, and F which holds 7.
What else can I help you with?
How many sub shells in f orbital?
There is one subshell in the f orbital, which can hold a maximum of 14 electrons. This subshell has seven orbitals: 5f with each of the orbitals capable of holding 2 electrons.
How many electron can the second energy level hold?
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.
How many electrons can 3rd shell hold?
In (3s2 3p6 3d10) = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electrons in the 3rd shell (3(s+p+d))
How many d orbital can there be in an energy level?
There are five d orbitals in one energy level. These orbitals are designated as dxy, dyz, dxz, dz2, and dx2-y2. Each d orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many elements does the s orbital have?
Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many total electrons can the d orbitals hold?
The d orbitals can hold a total of 10 electrons. Each d orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons: one with spin up and one with spin down.
How many sub shells in f orbital?
There is one subshell in the f orbital, which can hold a maximum of 14 electrons. This subshell has seven orbitals: 5f with each of the orbitals capable of holding 2 electrons.
How many orbitals are in the third shell?
The third shell can hold a maximum of 18 orbitals. This includes one 3s orbital, three 3p orbitals, and five 3d orbitals, totaling nine orbitals. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many electrons can an atom's third energy level hold?
The third energy level of an atom can hold eight electrons.
How many 1S orbitals are there in an atom?
An atom can have only one 1s orbital. This orbital can hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many electrons are found in each sublevel?
Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.
How many degenerate orbitals are needed to contain five electrons with three of them unpaired?
Two degenerate orbitals are needed to accommodate the five electrons with three unpaired. The first orbital can hold two electrons with opposite spins, while the second orbital can hold up to three electrons with one paired and two unpaired.
How many electrons can be placed in the second energy level?
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.
How many electron can the second energy level hold?
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.
How many orbitals does helium have?
Helium has only two electrons, and they share one orbital (forming a complementary pair).
Where does electron exist in an atom?
Electrons exist in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. This cloud is made up of the various orbitals that hold the electrons. Orbitals are regions of space in which the probability of finding an electron is the highest. The electrons orbit the nucleus in these orbitals and can move from one orbital to another as they gain or lose energy. 1s Orbital: This orbital is closest to the nucleus and can hold up to two electrons. 2s Orbital: This orbital is farther away from the nucleus and can hold up to two electrons. 2p Orbitals: These orbitals are even farther away from the nucleus and can hold up to six electrons. 3s Orbital: This orbital is farthest away from the nucleus and can hold up to two electrons. 3p Orbitals: These orbitals are even farther away from the nucleus and can hold up to six electrons. 3d Orbitals: These orbitals are the farthest away from the nucleus and can hold up to ten electrons.These orbitals are filled in a specific order with the 1s orbital being filled first then the 2s 2p 3s 3p and finally the 3d orbitals. The electrons in the outermost orbitals are called valence electrons and are responsible for the chemical properties of the atom.
How many electrons can 3rd shell hold?
In (3s2 3p6 3d10) = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electrons in the 3rd shell (3(s+p+d))
