How do you know how many electrons need to go in the second shell?

The formula is 2n2 where n is the principal quantum number (the "shell" number). In this case the second shell has a principal quantum number of 2 so 2X 22 = 8

How many electrons go in the first shell of oxygen?
In the first shell there are two electrons and in the second shell there are six electrons, but only the electrons in the second (outer) shell are valence electrons.
How many electrons are in the second shell of ion Br -1?
Eight electrons in the 2nd shell of Br- This is also the number of electrons in the 2nd shell of I-, Cl- and even F- !
If an element has 9 electrons how many are in the second shell?
Its 7Please see related link below!
If an element has 9 electrons how many should be in the second shell?
There should be seven in the second shell and two in the first. The element in question is fluorine, which has the atomic number 9, the same as the number of its protons and electrons.
How many of atoms are in the 3rd shell of an atom with 4 shells?
If you are asking about the number of electrons then it would be 8. The first shell can hold a maximum number of 2 electrons. The second and third shell would have a maximum of 8 electrons each.
