Maxima per subshell:
- s: 2 two
- p: 6 six
- d: 10 ten
- f: 14 fourteen
- g: 18 (max never reached)
- h: 22 (imaginary)

∙ 13y agoThere are 6 electrons. 3 are spinning one way and the other 3 are pinning another way

l=1=p
ml= values -l to +l
-1, 0, 1
2 electrons with opposite spin can occupy 1 space. (See Pauli Exclusion Principle)
3x2=6

Does a set of p orbitals with the same principal quantum number hold a maximum of 6 electrons?
No it can only hold up to 2. You have a rule for finding the maximum of electrons in every single shell. It is 2 *(shellnumber)2. Shell number 1 = 2 electrons Shell number 2 = 8 electrons Shell number 3 = 18 electrons Shell number 4 = 32 electrons Shell number 5 = 50 electrons Shell number 6 = 72 electrons Shell number 7 = 98 electrons Shell number above does for the moment not exist.
How many electrons in oxygen-16?
Oxygen-16 has 16 electrons (the 16 refers to the number of electrons, so Oxygen-15 if it exist, will have 15 valence electrons)
The number of protons neutrons and electrons sulfur-23?
The sulfur-23 doesn't exist.
How many electrons in 2d xy?
The 2d sub energy level does not exist. The first shell to contain a d sub-shell is the third shell: the 3d sub-shell contains a maximum of 10 electrons, with two electrons in each of five different d orbitals.
How can you figure out the number of electron an element has?
Finding the total number of electrons is easy. Assuming the atom is electrically neutal, the atomic number (always the number of protons) is also the number of electrons. This is because the protons are positively charged and the electrons are negatively charged, and a neutral atom will have a net charge of zero. Keep in mind, not all elements exist as atoms of their elemental state. Many of them are more commonly found locked up in compounds because they're just too reactive to exist solo.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals?

How many electrons are in the second energy of the atom?
According to the Bohr's atomic model the number of electrons present in a orbit can be defined by p(n.n) i.e p.n square,where n=number of orbit.hence we can calculate the number of electrons present in second orbit i.e 8.
What is the maximum number of s electrons that can exist is any one particular energy level?
Two, but they must have opposite spin..
Why 2d3d orbitals can not exist?
3d orbitals do exist and 2d orbitals dont exist because of the pauli exclusion principle which says only 6 electrons can exist in the 2nd shell, and you need at least 7 to get a d subshell

How many lone pairs of electrons exist on the central atom in oxygen O?
SIMPLY-The element Oxygen can either capture two electrons or share two electso just for the more techy side......ns.The Electron Structure of OxygenOxygen atoms have 8 protons and therefore 8 electrons in their neutral state. If we follow the subshell filling guide for elements, we end up with this: 1s2 2s2 2p4. This tells us that Oxygen has two shells of electrons. The first is holds only two electrons and is completely filled. The second contains six electrons, with space for another two electrons to make the full complement of 8 which is necessary for stability. As these outer shell electrons are arranged in pairs, we get the electron dot diagram for Oxygen as shown to the left. We can see from this that Oxygen will want to either capture two electrons or share two electrons to achieve stability.We can see a more detailed image of the electron structure of the Oxygen element below. Subshells are indicated by the black horizontal lines. The numbers in brackets show the maximum number of electrons that can be placed in that subshell is the number given in brackets.
