how many electrons can be held in the second orb?
529810
8 elements in the second row, 8 electrons in the second orbit. 8 elements in the third row, 8 electrons in the third orbit. The fourth and fifth orbits would therefore hold 18 electrons.

So... for the element of MAGNESIUM, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 12 electrons in a magnesium atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one, eight in shell two, and two more in shell three.

Hydrogen and helium are the only two elements that have electrons exclusively in the 1 s 1s 1s orbital in their neutral, non-charged, state. The second electron shell, 2n, contains another spherical s orbital plus three dumbbell-shaped p orbitals, each of which can hold two electrons.

Thus, the fourth level can hold up to 32 electrons: 2 in the s orbital, 6 in the three p orbitals, 10 in the five d orbitals, and 14 in the seven f orbitals. The sublevels of the first four principal energy levels and the maximum number of electrons that the sublevels can contain are summarized in Table 5.1.

Phosphorus has a filled 2nd principal energy level. The 2nd principal energy level can only hold 8 electrons, 6 in the p orbitals and 2 in the s orbital.

Note you are only looking at the orbitals with the specified n value, not those at lower energies. (a) When n = 2, there are four orbitals (a single 2s orbital, and three orbitals labeled 2p). These four orbitals can contain eight electrons.
992218
In your case, the fourth energy shell can hold 16 orbitals and a maximum of 32 electrons.
205810
Thus, the number electrons present in n = 2 shell are 8 electrons.

A total of 8 electrons can be placed in the outermost shell of an atom. This rule is known as the Octet rule.

Thus, the third level holds a maximum of 18 electrons: 2 in the s orbital, 6 in the three p orbitals, and 10 in the five d orbitals. The fourth and higher levels also have an f sublevel, containing seven f orbitals, which can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.
893951
The five d orbitals can hold up to 10 electrons. Thus, the third level holds a maximum of 18 electrons: 2 in the s orbital, 6 in the three p orbitals, and 10 in the five d orbitals.

(0-s, 1-p, 2-d, 3-f). ml=-1 is telling you that it will only take the -1 orbital out of the 7 listed above; therefore, it can only hold 2 electrons.

In K, L,M, N shells,in the N shell it can accommodate 32 electrons. So why the outermost shell can accommodate only 8 shells?

At the lowest energy level, the one closest to the atomic center, there is a single 1s orbital that can hold 2 electrons. At the next energy level, there are four orbitals; a 2s, 2p1, 2p2, and a 2p3. Each of these orbitals can hold 2 electrons, so a total of 8 electrons can be found at this level of energy.
1198586
In general, the first shell can hold 2 electrons, the second can hold 8. Consequently, hydrogen only has 1 outer shell as it has less than 2 electrons so it does not need another shell.

Answer : 50 electrons are needed to fill all five subshells The maximum number of electrons that can be added to each orbital are given below.

Different subshells hold a different maximum number of electrons. Any s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons; p supshell up to 6 electrons; d subshell up to 10; and f subshell up to 14.
