Question

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is _____.

Answer 1

      Each energy level has at least one orbital with two electrons. The orbits are located in the sublevels and there can be more than one sublevel as the number of energy levels increase. On energy level one, there is one sublevel and one orbital. Energy level two can have two sublevels and two orbitals.These continue to grow as you move from the center of the atom, ending up with an unlimited possible number of levels and orbits. 

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is seven.

Hope this helps! :))

Answer 2

Correct answer is:

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is Seven.

Explanation:

Every energy level has a limited one orbital including two electrons. The orbits are settled in the sub-levels and there can be further than 1 sub-level as the number of energy levels rises. On energy level 1, there is 1 sub-level and 1 orbital. Energy level 2 can possess 2 sub-levels and 2 orbitals. These remain to develop as you progress from the nucleus of the atom, closing up with an infinite potential number of levels and orbits.
