How many electron s can the M shell of an atom hold?
32
How many electrons can the fifth electron shell hold?
Maximum 32 electrons.
How many electrons can 3rd shell hold?
In (3s2 3p6 3d10) = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electrons in the 3rd shell (3(s+p+d))
How many electrons in the third shell of lithium?
Electronic configuration of Lithium is 2,1. So in second shell it can hold 1 electron.If it will combine with some other element it will give out its electron in second shell.
How many electrons are there in the third noble gas shell of sodium atom Na atomic number 11?
The sodium atom (Na) has 11 electrons. The electron configuration of sodium is 2-8-1. The third noble gas shell is the second energy level or shell, which can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Therefore, the number of electrons in the third noble gas shell of sodium is 1.
How many electrons are there in o shell?
the O major shell can hold 1 electron
How many electron s can the M shell of an atom hold?
32
How many electrons fit in the 2nd electron shell?
Eight electrons fit in the second shell.
How many electrons can the outer electron sub-shell usually hold?
8
How many electrons can the fifth electron shell hold?
Maximum 32 electrons.
How many electrons can go in the first second and third shell of an atom?
The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 while the third shell can also hold a maximum of 8.
How many electrons are in each of the first two shells if an atom contains eight electrons?
The first shell can have 2 electrons, the second shell has 8 electrons and the third shell has 8 electron also. No matter what, electron fill up the first shell and then move into the next shell and then the next one. To answer the question, the first shell would have 2 electron and then the second shell would have six.
How many electrons does sodium have in its outer most shell?
Sodium is in the third group in the periodic table. It meens that sodium has three shell. First shell - 2 electrons, second shell - 8 electrons, third shell (outer energy level) - 1 electron.
How many electrons for hydrogen does it take to fill its outer shell?
Hydrogen can hold only 1 electron.
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 3rd shell hold?
In (3s2 3p6 3d10) = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electrons in the 3rd shell (3(s+p+d))
How many electron orbital shells does chlorine have?
Your question reveals a common confusion between orbitals and shells. Chlorine has three electron shells: the first, second and third. The first shell has just the one orbital, the 1s The second shell has two sub-shells, the 2s and the 2p. There are three p orbitals in the 2p sub-shell. Each orbital can hold two electrons, so there are eight electrons maximum in the second shell. The third shell likewise has two sub-shells, the 3s and the 3p, but the 3p is not completely filled, leaving room for one more electron. When chlorine gains this electron it will become a Cl- ion. This is summed up in the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p5.
