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.


What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbital A.?

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbital is two. This is due to the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers. Therefore, one orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, each with opposite spins.


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.
