The statement that each electron orbit (or energy level) can hold a maximum number of electrons is attributed to the physicist Niels Bohr. In his model of the atom, Bohr proposed that electrons reside in distinct orbits around the nucleus and introduced the formula (2n^2) to determine the maximum number of electrons in each orbit, where (n) is the principal quantum number. This concept is foundational in atomic theory and helps explain the structure of the Periodic Table.

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.
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 quantum number of the hydrogen atom comes closest to giving a 31--diameter electron orbit?
The quantum number that determines the size of an electron's orbit in a hydrogen atom is the principal quantum number, denoted by "n." For an electron orbit with a 31 Å diameter, the closest principal quantum number would be n = 4, because the average radius of the electron for an orbit corresponding to n is approximately given by n^2 Å in hydrogen atom.
How do you determine the energy in the f- level orbit?
To determine the energy in the f-level orbit, you would first need to know the quantum numbers of the electron in that orbit, including the principal quantum number (n) and the azimuthal quantum number (l). The energy of an electron in a specific orbit is given by the formula E = -13.6 eV/n^2, where n is the principal quantum number. By plugging in the appropriate value of n for the f-level orbit (typically n = 3 or higher), you can calculate the energy of an electron in that orbit.
Is it possible for there to be only one electron in the first orbit and three in the second orbit?
No, according to the Aufbau principle, the first orbit (K shell) can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons and the second orbit (L shell) can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. This is due to the way electrons fill orbitals in an atom based on their energy levels.

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.
