How many electrons can fit on the electron orbit?

16

Well, the first valence electron shell contains 2 valence electrons, which every element has (with the exception of hydrogen), and all shells afterwards can hold up to 8 electrons. -So, by totaling,...

trick question, you would think 1s=2, 2p=6, 3d=10, 4f=14... but each orbit can hold only 2e- This is true if you mean orbitals and not orbits.

The formula to determine the number of electrons in an energy level is 2n2, where n is the number of the energy level. For the fifth energy level, n=5. So the total number of electrons possible in...

2 each with different spins
