how many electrons can an orbital hold

Sagot :

Answer:

2 electrons

Explanation:

Orbital: A region of space within an atom where an electron in a given subshell can be found. Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons with opposite spin.

Answer:

The farther a shell is from the nucleus, the larger it is, the more electrons it can hold, and the higher the

energies of those electrons.

The first shell (closest to the nucleus) can hold two electrons. The second shell can hold 8 electrons. The

third shell can hold 32 electrons.

Within the shells, electrons are further grouped into subshells of four different types, identified as s, p,

d, and f in order of increasing energy. The first shell has only an s subshell; the second shell has an s and

a p subshell; the third shell has s, p, and d subshells, and the fourth has s, p, d and f subshells. The

number of subshells is equal to the shell number. A specific subshell is symbolized by writing the

number of the shell, followed by the letter for the subshell.

Subshell (electron): A grouping of electrons in a shell according to the shape of the region of space they
