It is not the orbital that holds more electrons. All orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
However, the p-subshell can hold more electrons than the s-subshell. This is because the s-subshell is only made of 1 orbital, and 1 x 2 = 2, therefore it can only hold 2 electrons. The p-subshell is made of 3 orbitals, and 3 x 2 = 6, so it can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
So, a p-subshell can hold more electrons than an s-subshell because it is made up of more orbitals. It is not the orbitals that hold more electrons.
The elements in the s-block have their last electrons in their electron configuration in the s-orbital.
Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
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.
The full orbital diagram of S (sulfur) includes 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 4 electrons in the 2p orbitals (2 in each p orbital). The electron configuration of sulfur is 1s2 2s2 2p4.
Sodium (Na) has 3 orbital boxes, corresponding to the s, p, and d orbitals. The s-orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, the p-orbital up to 6 electrons, and the d-orbital up to 10 electrons.
The s-orbital can hold 2 electrons at maximum.
The elements in the s-block have their last electrons in their electron configuration in the s-orbital.
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2. This means that there are two electrons in the 1s orbital in helium.s stands for the orbital in which the electrons are present
S orbital contains only 2 electrons and not elements.
Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
An s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is because there is only one s orbital in each energy level. Each electron in the s orbital has opposite spins, which helps to keep them stable within the orbital.
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.

there are two electons in the s sublevel. It is the number of electrons that fit in the first orbital around an atom.
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 2s orbital is 2. This is because the s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, following the Pauli exclusion principle which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.
The S orbital contains a maximum of two electrons
