The second orbit of an atom can hold up to 8 electrons.
There are five orbitals in a d orbital: dxy, dyz, dxz, dx^2-y^2, and dz^2. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, resulting in a total of 10 electrons that can be accommodated in a d 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.
An atom with the first two electron orbitals completed would have 10 total electrons. The first electron orbital can hold up to 2 electrons (2 in the s subshell), and the second electron orbital can hold up to 8 electrons (2 in the s subshell and 6 in the p subshell).
s = 2 electrons p = 6 electrons d = 10 electrons f = 14 electrons Each single s orbital has two electrons in it. Each p orbital has two electrons in it and as there are three of these orbitals in a p subshell, the total electron number is six. d has five orbitals in its subshell, containing ten electrons (two in each orbital) when full, which form a dumbell-esque shape. f has seven orbitals each containing two electrons.
The d orbitals in a sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital
The d sublevel consists of five orbitals that can hold a maximum of two electrons each. The total maximum number of electrons that the d sublevel can hold is 10 electrons.
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.
Six in p orbital, in each sublevel of p (px, py, pz) there are two electrons at max.
In a xenon atom, all five of its p orbitals are filled with electrons. Each p orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, for a total of 10 electrons in the p orbitals of xenon.
5 electrons in p orbitals in the outer shell. Cl has an electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s2, 3p5 In level 2 there a further 6 electrons in p orbitals making 11 electrons in total occupying p orbitals
Six in p orbital, in each sublevel of p (px, py, pz) there are two electrons at max.
There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.
The electrons in beryllium occupy a total of four orbitals. Beryllium has 4 electrons, which fill the 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals.
A d orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
In a cadmium atom, all 27 s orbitals are filled with electrons. Cadmium has 48 electrons, and the s sublevel can hold a total of 2 electrons per orbital, so 27 orbitals are needed to accommodate all the electrons.
