Question

How many maximum number of electrons can be accommodated in an orbital

Answer 1

Answer:

There are different kinds of orbitals in an atom which are s,p,d,f.

In which the s the orbital is having the 1 orbital, in which 2 electrons can be accommodated (1*2=2).

Then the p orbital which is having 3 orbitals in which there can be  6 electrons accommodated (since, 3*2=6).

The next is the d orbital which is having 5 orbitals in which there can be 10 electrons accommodated (5*2=10) .

At last the f orbital which is having 7 orbitals so, there can be 14 electrons accommodated (7*2=14).

Answer 2

Answer:

The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in an orbital is 2

Explanation:

The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in an orbital is 2.

total number of electrons in an orbit is given by the formula 2(2l+1)

for s orbital -- l=0 so total number of electrons is 2

For P orbital --- l=1, so number of electrons is 6

For d orbital --d=2 so number of electrons =10

for f orbital --- f=3 so number of electrons =14
