Why can a p sublevel hold 6 electrons while the s sublevel can hold no more than 2 electrons?

The p sublevel consists of three orbitals, each of which can hold up to 2 electrons. This totals to a maximum of 6 electrons in the p sublevel. In contrast, the s sublevel consists of only one orbital, which can hold a maximum of 2 electrons due to the rules of electron configuration in an atom.


How many electrons are found in each sublevel?

Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.

How many orbitals are in the 7s sublevel?

There is only one orbital in the 7s sublevel. The "7" corresponds to the principal quantum number and "s" indicates the sublevel shape, which is spherical.


How many d orbital can there be in an energy level?

There are five d orbitals in one energy level. These orbitals are designated as dxy, dyz, dxz, dz2, and dx2-y2. Each d orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.


How many electrons are in the first period?

for all elements, excluding hydrogen, there are 2 electrons in the first energy level. Hydrogen is the exception of this because it only has a single electron, thus it only has 1 in its first and only energy level.


Has one electron in the 2s sublevel?

Which element has a single electron in the 2p sublevel?

The element that has a single electron in the 2p sublevel is boron. The electron configuration of Boron is 1s22s22p1.

Why is it that all of the sub shells in a given shell have the same energy in the hydrogen atom whereas in a many-electron atom the sub shells in a given shell do not have the same energy?

The hydrogen atom only has one energy level (shell). The first energy level also contains only one sublevel, 1s sublevel (subshell), which can only hold two electrons. When you get to the second energy level in the second period on the periodic table, it has two sublevels, the 2s and the 2p sublevels. Both of the electrons in the 2s sublevel have the same energy. The 2p sublevel can hold 6 electrons. All of the electrons in the 2p sublevel have the same energy, which is higher than the energy in the 2s sublevel. So, as we move down the periods on the periodic table, we move from the first energy level to the seventh energy level. Each energy level contains specific numbers of sublevels, and all of the atoms within a particular sublevel have equal energy.


How many electrons are held in s sublevel?

s-sublevels holds only two electrons in maximum.
