Keeping this in consideration, how many electrons are in each level?
Each shell can contain only a fixed numberofelectrons: The first shell can hold up totwoelectrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 +6)electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 +10)and so on. The general formula is that the nth shell caninprinciple hold up to2(n2)electrons.
Secondly, how many electrons can sublevel hold?
2 electrons
There are four types of orbitals that youshouldbe familiar with s, p, d and f (sharp, principle, diffuseandfundamental).
