How many electrons can be held in the second orbital (closest to the nucleus)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The number of electrons that can be held in the second orbital (closest to the nucleus) is 8 electrons

How to determine the number of electrons in the 2nd orbital?

The arrangementof electrons in various energy levels or orbital follows a well defined order. This can be determined by using the following formula:

Number of electrons = 2n²

Where

  • n is the number of orbital/shell

Now, we shall obtain the number of electrons in the second orbital. Details below:

  • Number of shell = 2
  • Number of electrons =?

Number of electrons = 2n²

= 2 × 2²

= 2 × 4

= 8 electrons

Thus, the number of electrons in the second orbital is 8 electrons

Answer 2
Answer: the orbital is called an energy level and they follow an 2/8/8 rule.
2 in the first
8 in the second
and
8 in the third.
so 8 would be the answer.

as the bright sun shines upon the water the water slowly disappears the same sunlight gives energy to the surrounding plants to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and only oxygen gas which change is a physical and which is chemical

Answers

Well when the sun makes water dissaper thats usually evaporation.

The chemical changes is when the plants absorb the energy from the sunlight and convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen gas. Physically nothing has changed. The plant still looks the sam changes occur internally these internal changes are chemical in nature.

Have people considered that aliens could possibly live without oxygen and water and we are looking in the wrong direction for a new life form?This is astronomy, not chemistry. Sorry, they do not have the option of astronomy.

Answers

I have never heard anyone ever say anything about aliens only living by using the same metabolistic processes as humans... But.. there may likely be another planet out there that does use oxygen, although at a different percentage from Earths. Anyways, even if we do find "other" life forms, who's to say that they're on the same level as us? Have you ever considered the fact that ants to us are like we are to other life forms out there and maybe they don't want or can't communicate with us because they see themselves as superior?

Hope that helps!
