It's actually 6 not 2. 2 I believe, followed by D which holds 4, and F which holds 7.
What else can I help you with?
How many electrons can p orbitals hold?
It hold 6 thre p orbital (Px Py Pz) and each one hold two so total is six electron can p orbital
Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms form?
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons. Let's take hydrogen for example. To be the most "happy" atoms want their outermost orbital full of electrons. Hydrogen has only one electron in its 1s orbital, but the 1s orbital can hold two electrons. Hydrogen wants two electrons to be "happy" so it will do what it takes to get them. If a hydrogen atom bumps into another hydrogen atom they can both become "happy" as each atom will share its electron with the other atom, giving each a full outermost orbital with the help of the other atom's electron. This is what creates the bond in covalent bond as the hydrogen atoms are "happier" together with a full orbital than they would be with a half-full orbital apart.
Can you provide an example of a slater determinant?
A Slater determinant is a mathematical expression used in quantum mechanics to describe the arrangement of electrons in an atom or molecule. An example of a Slater determinant for a simple case would be the arrangement of two electrons in a hydrogen atom, where one electron is in the 1s orbital and the other is in the 2s orbital.
Why 2 electrons in an orbital spin?
According to the Pauli exclusion principle, no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. Since electrons are fermions with half-integer spins, the two possible spin states for each electron (up or down) ensure that no two electrons in the same orbital have identical quantum properties. This helps stabilize the atom by minimizing electron-electron repulsion.
How do electrons in the same atom differ?
Electrons in the same atom differ in their energy levels, which correspond to their distance from the nucleus. They also differ in their angular momentum (orbital shapes) and spin (direction of rotation). These differences determine the electron's behavior and interactions with other electrons.
How many electrons are needed to fill one orbital?
Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
What is the hightest number of electrons allowed in one orbital?
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
How many electrons can p orbitals hold?
It hold 6 thre p orbital (Px Py Pz) and each one hold two so total is six electron can p orbital
How many 1S orbitals are there in an atom?
An atom can have only one 1s orbital. This orbital can hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many total electrons can the d orbitals hold?
The d orbitals can hold a total of 10 electrons. Each d orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons: one with spin up and one with spin down.
How many sub shells in f orbital?
There is one subshell in the f orbital, which can hold a maximum of 14 electrons. This subshell has seven orbitals: 5f with each of the orbitals capable of holding 2 electrons.
How many orbitals does helium have?
Helium has only two electrons, and they share one orbital (forming a complementary pair).
How many 5p orbitals are there in an atom?
There is 1 5s orbital
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.
How many electrons can the S sublevel hold?
there are two electons in the s sublevel. It is the number of electrons that fit in the first orbital around an atom.
How many electrons can go into a orbital?
In an atom, electrons are in "shells", the first shell is around the center of the atom and holds a maximum of 2 electrons. Each subsequent shell out, will hold a maximum of 8 electrons. there is no maximum number of shells.
How many electron orbitals does helium have?
How many atoms / electron clouds does helium have ?
