What is the maximum number of electrons an orbital may contain?

The maximum number of electrons an orbital may contain is 2 electrons.

Explanation:

There are 4 atomic orbitals called s, p, d and f.

There are one orbital s and it has 2 electrons.

There are three orbitals p, each one contain 2 electrons and in total they have 6 electrons.

There are five orbitals d, each one contain 2 electrons and in total they have 10 electrons.

And there are seven orbitals f, each one contain 2 electrons and the maximum number of electrons this orbital can contain is 14 electrons.

  the unit of the measure =

explanation:

  the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one.

  si unit of energy = joule (j)

  si unit of temperature = kelvin (k)

  si unit of mass of material = kilogram (kg)

the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one is called specific heat.

the unit of specific heat is
