The number of orbitals is easy. Find out the number of electrons (atomic number) and then separate it into the relevant shells. GCSE: you are required only to know the electron configuration e.g. 2.8.8.... A-Level: sort it into sub-levels 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d.... Ok, so if you are taking the element Mg into consideration GCSE: 2.8.2 A-Level: 3 row down (so 3rd sub-shell) and the s-block of the Periodic Table 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2 Finito!
You can determine the number of electrons in an element's orbital shells by looking at its atomic number, which tells you the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom. The electron configuration of an element provides a more detailed breakdown of how the electrons are distributed among the different orbital shells.

How many electrons are in the 3p of Silicon?
There are two electrons in the 3p orbital of Silicon. Each p orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many electrons shells does Platinum have?
Platinum is in the 6th period, meaning its atom has 6 energy shells. It is in Group 10 and has 78 electrons.
How many electron shells does the beryllium atom have?
The beryllium atom has 2 electron shells. The first shell, closest to the nucleus, can hold up to 2 electrons, while the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons. Beryllium has 4 electrons, filling both of its electron shells.
How many 5s electrons are in Cd?
Cadmium (Cd) has 48 electrons in total. It has configurations of 2, 8, 18, 18 and 2 electrons in its electron shells. This means that cadmium has 2 electrons in its 5s orbital.
How many electron shells and how many valence electrons are in an atom of an element found in period 3 and group 16 of the periodic table?
An element in period 3 and group 16 of the periodic table has 3 electron shells. It also has 6 valence electrons since group 16 elements have 6 electrons in their outermost shell.
How many shells are there in Nitrogen?
there are two shells of electrons in the nitrogen atom that actually have electrons in them, nitrogen has two electrons in the first shell, the S orbital, and five in the outer shell, the P orbital. this causes nitrogen to have a valence shell with five electrons.
How many outer orbital electrons are found in an atom of radium?
Two electrons in the outer shell of radium.
How many inner electrons are in the element Oxygen?
Oxygen has 2 electrons in the innermost orbital and 6 in the outermost (valence) orbital.
How many electron orbital shells does francium have?
Francium has seven electron shells; electrons per shell: 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 8, 1.
How many electrons does the orbital oxgen have?
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
How many shells are there in element mercury?
Mercury has 80 electrons which means there are 6 shells in a neutral atom of mercury.
How many orbital shells do boron have?
Boron has two orbital shells. The first shell contains 2 electrons, while the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons. Boron typically has 5 electrons, with 2 in the first shell and 3 in the second shell.
How many electrons are in the 3p of Silicon?
There are two electrons in the 3p orbital of Silicon. Each p orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many electrons are in the outer shells of copper?
The outer shell (N=4) of the copper element has 2 electrons.
How many electrons shells does Platinum have?
Platinum is in the 6th period, meaning its atom has 6 energy shells. It is in Group 10 and has 78 electrons.
Can you put orbital in a sentence?
The spacecraft entered the Earth's orbital path, allowing it to circle the planet continuously.
How many shells does radon have?
Radon is a non metal element. There are 86 electrons in a single atom.
