How many electrons on the fifth orbit?

In: Chemistry, Particle Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

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 the fifth energy level is 2(5²) = 50.
