What atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer level?

No atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer energy shell - there is the valence rule, stating that the maximum for the outer shell is 8 electrons.


Why do outer shells of atoms hold more electrons?

Because the shell can only hold eight electrons. check


What term is used for the electrons in the outermost shell?

there called valence electrons


Why is chlorine in period 3?

Chlorine is in period three because that is how many outer shells it has. One period is one shell... In the First outer shell you can only hold.. 2 electrons. Second outer shell can hold 10 electrons. Third outer shell can hold 18 electron. Protons + Electrons = Atomic Number Atomic Number - Atomic Mass = Number of Neutrons in Outer Shells


How many electrons can the outer electron sub-shell usually hold?

8


What do elements in the same group share common?

Number of valence electrons, that is, the number of electrons that the outer shell of an atom can hold. Ex. All halogens can have 7electrons in their outer shell. All gases have a full octet, eight electrons.


How is it possible once the valve adjustment is made to tighten the outer bolt when the inner screw is loose on a 11.5 hp briggs and stratton engine?

you need to hold the inner screw while tightening the outer nut


Are the atom is chemically stable when its outer energy level contains all the electrons it can hold?

yes


How many electrons can the outer level of an atom hold?

an atom has different energy orbitals: s, p, d, and f. each orbital can hold two electrons. the outside energy or highest energy levels of electrons is called the valence shell or valence electrons. for an atom to be stable it wants the electron configuration for the valence shell to be "s2, p6." to answer your question the outer level of an atom can hold 8 electrons. it is called the valence shell.


Does helium have the maximum number of valence electrons in its outer shell?

Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.


How many electrons for hydrogen does it take to fill its outer shell?

Hydrogen can hold only 1 electron.


How do you remove the inside door panel on a 1997 Saturn Wagon?

The inside door panel cannot be removed; instead, to get to the inner workings of the door remove the OUTER panel. Lift the outer door handle to expose the pins that hold the outer handle to the door mechanism. Then press out the pins and remove the handle. Then remove the screws around the perimeter of the door that hold the outer panel. The panel should lift off, exposing all of the inner workings, then you can verify that the inner panel does NOT come off.
