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.


What determines the group an element is placed in?

The number of electrons in the outermost orbital.


Which element has the lowest number of electrons?

Hydrogen, the element with the lowest atomic number.


What element with the lowest atomic number contains 10 p electrons in the ground state?

The element with the lowest atomic number that contains 10 p electrons in the ground state is neon. Neon has an atomic number of 10, and in its ground state, it has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 6 electrons in the 2p orbital.


Which element contains five electrons in its 3D orbital?

The element that contains five electrons in its 3d orbital is manganese (Mn). Manganese has an atomic number of 25, and its electron configuration is [Ar] 4s² 3d⁵. This means it has five electrons in the 3d subshell.

What is the electron configuration of an element?

The electron configuration of an element shows the number of electrons in their energy levels and orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of a neutral magnesium atom, Mg, with 12 electrons, is 1s22s22p63s2. This means that there are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level, two electrons in the s orbital and six electrons in the p orbital of the second energy level, and two electrons in the s orbital of the third energy level. The number in front of each letter represents the energy level, the letter represents the orbital, and the superscripts represent the number of electrons in the orbital.


Do hydrogen and atoms have an equal number of electrons?

No. Neutral atoms of each element, including hydrogen, have a unique number of electrons, which is equal to the number of protons in their nuclei. The number of protons is the element's atomic number on the periodic table.


Is the atomic number how many atoms are in the element?

Not necessarily. The atomic number is the same amount as the protons found in a certain element. remember that the number of protons are equal to the number of electrons as well. EX - Calcium's atomic number is 20 so therefore there are 20 protons and 20 electrons in the element. The atomic number also helps you find any valence electrons EX- oxygen's atomic number is 8 so you have 2 electrons filling the 1st orbital and 6 filling the 2 orbital. but the 2nd orbital is supposed to have 8 electron so there are 6 valence electrons.


Which chemical element has the atomic number 1?

Hydrogen is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 1.


How many electrons does this element have O?

The atomic number of an element tells you the amount of of electrons. In oxygen, symbol 'O', there are 8 electrons since the atomic number is 8. For example, the atomic number of Hydrogen is 1, so there is 1 electron in a Hydrogen atom.


Do atom orbitals contain thousands of electrons or just a few electron?

If you look at a periodic chart, you will see that each element has a number. That number gives the number of protons and electrons that each element contains. There are limits to the number of electrons that any orbital can contain. The orbitals are labeled: s, p, d, f, g, h, i, k. The first two atoms in the periodic table, Hydrogen and Helium, only have an s orbital. The s orbital holds two electrons. When the s orbital is full, as with Helium, it can not react with anything else. Helium is inert. The next row in the periodic table contains the p orbital. When the p orbital is full, as in Neon, then it can not react. If you look at the periodic table, the orbitals can hold more electrons and each element can hold more orbitals. If it becomes possible to create an element with several hundred protons, the orbitals could hold many electrons.
