how many electrons are in the orbitals?

In other words, an orbital is an area where the electrons live. There can be two electrons in one orbital maximum. The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max.

Each orbital can hold 2 electrons (one of each spin), and a maximum of 7 f orbitals can have the same energy without violating Pauli's exclusion principle. The number of electrons in a 4f subshell can be anything between 0 (if it isn't filled) and 14 (2 electrons per orbital times 7 orbitals = 14 electrons).

How many electrons in an atom may have the following quantum numbers? (a) n = 4, (b) n = 3, l = 0. b) When n= 3, l=0 means 3s orbital which can have 2 electrons .

To calculate the amount of orbitals from the principal quantum number, use n2. There are n2 orbitals for each energy level. For n = 1, there is 12 or one orbital.

So how many electrons are in the outermost shell? You have six electrons here. So oxygen has six valence, valence electrons.

Orbitals are spaces that have a high probability of containing an electron. In other words, an orbital is an area where the electrons live. There can be two electrons in one orbital maximum.

Each orbital can hold two electrons. One spin-up and one spin-down. This means that the 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, etc., can each hold two electrons because they each have only one orbital. The 2p, 3p, 4p, etc., can each hold six electrons because they each have three orbitals, that can hold two electrons each (3*2=6).

The 2p, 3p, 4p, etc., can each hold six electrons because they each have three orbitals, that can hold two electrons each (3*2=6). The 3d, 4d etc., can each hold ten electrons, because they each have five orbitals, and each orbital can hold two electrons (5*2=10).

Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on.

Similarly, L shell is the second shell and it can hold up to 2(2)2 = 8 electrons. This formula helps to calculate the maximum number of electrons that an orbit can accommodate.

In an atom, the electrons spin around the center, also called the nucleus. The electrons like to be in separate shells/orbitals. Shell number one can only hold 2 electrons, shell two can hold 8, and for the first eighteen elements shell three can hold a maximum of eight electrons.

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet.

BRIAN M. The fourth energy level has 18 electrons. The fourth energy level of the periodic table includes the 4s 3d and 4p orbitals. The 4p orbital holds 6 electrons.

There can be two electrons in one orbital maximum. The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max.

there are 15 electrons in total, there must be 5 electrons at the third energy level. there are 3 energy levels, so the electrons at the third are outer, or valence, electrons. this means that there are 5 valence electrons. all neutral atoms of the elements in group 5 have 5 valence electrons.

The number of valence electrons is 7 + 4×7 +1 = 36. If you draw a trial structure in which I is the central atom and every atom has an octet, you will have used 32 electrons. The four extra electrons go onto the central I atom as two lone pairs.

That means there are 16 electrons in a sulfur atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one, eight in shell two, and six in shell three. There are 6 electrons in the outer orbit of an atom of sulphur.
