::The first '''orbital''' can only hold a maximum of 2 [[electron]]s.
::The second '''orbital''' can hold a maximum of 8 [[electron]]s.
::The third '''orbital''' holds a maximum of 8 [[electron]]s.
::You do not need to know the numbers beyond this at Key Stage 4.
: These '''orbitals''' and the number of [[electron]]s in an [[atom]] determine the chemistry of an [[element]].
: The number of '''electron orbitals''' determines the [[Period]] on the [[Periodic Table]].
