How many electrons does the first shell of a atom contain?
First shell contains atmost two electrons. The formula is 2n. where n is the no. of shell u want to calculate its capacity of no of electrons..thanku
What a maximum of eight electrons can occupy the first shell?
the first shell (the K shell) can only contain a maximum of two electrons, as it consists of just an s orbitalthe second shell (the L shell) can contain a maximum of eight electrons, as it consists of an s orbital and three p orbitalsthe third shell (the M shell) can contain a maximum of eighteen electrons, as it consists of an s orbital, three p orbitals, and five d orbitalsthe fourth shell (the N shell) can contain a maximum of thirty two electrons, as it consists of an s orbital, three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitalsthe fifth shell (the O shell) can contain a maximum of fifty electrons, as it consists of an s orbital, three p orbitals, five d orbitals, seven f orbitals, and nine g orbitalsetc.
What do atoms in the same period have?
Their outermost electrons are in the same shell. For example, Helium and Hydrogen have 1 and 2 electrons respectively, and these electrons exist within the first electron shell. Lithium has 3 electrons and the third of these electrons is in the second electron shell, and so, it is a member of the 2nd period of the periodic table.
How many electrons fit 1st energy level?
The inner electron shell (also known as the s shell) can hold only two electrons. There are only two elements, hydrogen and helium, whose electrons all fit into the first shell.
Does the nucleus contain electrons?
Yes; the 1s electrons are most likely to be in the nucleus.No, the electrons are on the outer shell, but a nucleus contains neutrons and protons.
How many electrons can the inner shell of an atom contain?
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
How many electrons in 2d xy?
The 2d sub energy level does not exist. The first shell to contain a d sub-shell is the third shell: the 3d sub-shell contains a maximum of 10 electrons, with two electrons in each of five different d orbitals.
If M-shell can occupy 18 electrons but in potassium there are 8 electrons in M -shell why?
we know that 1st shell contain 2 electrons 2nd shell 8 electrons but third shell have to contains 18 electrons but the maximum no. of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8 electrons...... by yhell
How many out shell electrons does germanium contain?
4.
How many electrons does the first shell of a atom contain?
First shell contains atmost two electrons. The formula is 2n. where n is the no. of shell u want to calculate its capacity of no of electrons..thanku
Are electrons able to leap from shell to shell in an atom?
Yes. However, they cannot exist between the shells.

Why it is said that outermost shell should contain 8 electrons?
According to the Octect Rule, an atom is most stable when its outermost shell has 8 electrons. So atoms try to attain 8 electrons in their outer shell.
What do atoms in the same period have?
Their outermost electrons are in the same shell. For example, Helium and Hydrogen have 1 and 2 electrons respectively, and these electrons exist within the first electron shell. Lithium has 3 electrons and the third of these electrons is in the second electron shell, and so, it is a member of the 2nd period of the periodic table.
How many electrons are in the outermost shell for hydrogen?
Only one electron exist.
The inner shell of any atom can contain up to how many electrons?
two
Does hydrogen contain 2 electrons in the first shell?
No. Hydrogen has only one
