Each orbital contains at maximum 2 electrons.
there is one s-orbital: 2 in this alone
there are three p-orbitals (px, py, pz) with 2 in each
there are five d-orbitals (dz2, dxz, dyz, dxy dx2-y2) with 2 in each
there are seven f-orbitals (fz3, fxz2, fyz2 ,fxyz ,fz(x2-y2) ,fx(x2-3y2) ,fy(3x2-y2) with 2 in each

What is the maximum number of electrons that each of the fi rst three electron orbits can hold starting from the nucleus?
1st orbit - 2 2nd orbit - 8 3rd orbit - 8 all together all three orbits can hold up to 18 electrons.
How many electrons orbit nitrogen's nucleaus?
It depends on the atomic number. For example, to find the number of electrons in carbon, look at a periodic table. You will see that the atomic number for carbon is 6, so 6 electrons orbit a carbon atom'snucleus.
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
the max is 2 for the first orbitthe max is 8 for the second orbitthe max is 8 for the thrid orbit too.User:HeleneM5500:06, 4 Sep 2009 (UTC)Electrons follow paths called orbits, shells, or levels. Each shell can hold a specific maximum number of electrons. Each electron possesses a definite amount of energy. The radius of the orbit depends on the amount of energy that electron has & on the attractive force the nucleus has for that electron. Bohr model of the atom (with main energy levels identified by number: 1 --> 7Shell #1 closest to nucleus can hold a maximum of 2 each.Shell #2 next shell outward can hold a maximum of 8 each.Shell #3 next shell outward for elements Z = 1 --> 20, this shell can hold a maximum of 8 e-, for all others a maximum of 18 each.

What is the number of electrons that can be held in the frist orbit?
Two (2) electrons can be held in the first orbit.
How many electrons per orbit can be found in an atom?
The number of electrons per orbit in an atom is determined by the energy level of the orbit. Each orbit can hold a maximum number of electrons, with the first orbit holding up to 2 electrons, the second holding up to 8 electrons, the third holding up to 18 electrons, and so on.
How many electrons in each orbit ring for lead?
In a lead atom, the number of electrons in each orbit are as follows: 2 electrons in the first orbit (closest to the nucleus) 8 electrons in the second orbit 18 electrons in the third orbit 32 electrons in the fourth orbit
Number of electrons in americium?
95 electrons, two of them are in the outer orbit.
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in the third orbit of an atom is 18. This is based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of the orbit. For the third orbit (n=3), the maximum number of electrons is 2 x 3^2 = 18.
Do isotopes contain more electrons than other Atoms?
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbit?
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
How do the number of protons in the atomic nucleus normally compare to the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus?
The number of protons is usually the same as the number of electrons!:)
