Whoah, it quite is no longer continually 8. think of roughly hydrogen, it quite is 2. And for heavier aspects with d orbitals, it has a tendency to be better than 8. however the levels of orbitals are like this, you have probable seen: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 4f14 (etc) after which you pass diagonally precise-proper to backside-left. (1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d10, 4p6, etc...) reckoning on the style of atom, you %. the orbitals till you run out of electrons. Say carbon is atommic#6, with 6 electrons. so 1s2 is interior the 1st shell. So then, 2s2 2p2, provides the the rest 4 electrons in C's 6. yet, would not or no longer it quite is extreme-high quality if there have been 4 greater electrons to end the shell, and for this reason make it good. by fact of this C exists with 4 bonds. each and every bond has 2 electrons, a million of each and every is shared with C. that can provide 4 electrons to end the valence 8 shell of point 2: 2s2 2p6. (those of course hybridize). And as I pronounced, as you pass to heavier aspects, the valence will advance by fact now you have d orbitals which choose greater electrons to end the valence shell.

Each s orbital can hold 2
each p can hold 6
each d could hold 10
each f could hold 14
I don't know how everyone else said other numbers, but the definite number is 6. This is because the p orbitals, are on the left side of the periodic table, there are 3 sublevels, and sublevel can hold 2 electrons. 2 x 3 = 6
The definite answer is 4) 6

the p subshell always has a maximum of 6 electrons in it so 6
s can hold 2 p 6 d 10 and f 14

Shell 3 p can only hold 6 electrons max. Look at the noble gas Argon, it's shell is full, and only has 6.

6. its the right side of the table. its B, C, N, O, F, Ne, and all the ones under it. if you need more help, email me, we just did this section in chemistry and im really good at it!
