How many electrons can be the first energy level in the electron cloud hold?

The first energy level in the electron cloud can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.


How many first level electron did each atom contains?

The first electron energy level can only hold 2 electrons. Hydrogen only has 1 first energy level electron as it only contains one proton and one electron total.


If an atom has 11 electrons how many energy levels will it have?

The atom will have 3 energy levels. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third level can hold the remaining electron.


How many electrons can the first energy level in the electron cloud hold?

The first energy level can hold 2. The second level can hold 8. The third level can hold 18. Fourth and beyond can hold 32.


Why is the 11th electron of the sodium atom located in the third energy level?

Each energy level can hold different number of electrons. The first energy level holds 2, second holds 8, and third holds 8. Because the first two energy levels of sodium can only hold 10 electrons, the sodium has a third energy level to hold the 11th electron.


In the electron cloud model if you begin at the electron shell closest to the nucleus of an atom and move out what is the number of electrons that each energy level or electron shell needs to fil?

The number of electrons that each energy level or electron shell can hold is given by the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of that energy level. For example, the first energy level (n=1) can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level (n=2) can hold up to 8 electrons, and so on.


An element that has fewer than 2 electrons in its first level is?

The first shell only hold 2 electrons, so this element has 1 electron in its first level. Hydrogen


What is the first energy level in helium called?

The first energy level in the quantum (current) theory of the atom is the 1s electron orbital, which can hold two electrons.The following energy levels go like this:1s22s22p63s23p64s24p63d105s25p64d106s2...And so on. (The first number being the energy level, the letter being the shape of the electron orbital, and the superscript being the number of electrons the orbital can hold.)

How many electron levels does sodium 23 have?

Sodium-23 has three electron levels: the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, so sodium-23 has 11 protons and 11 electrons in a neutral state.


What is the energy level diagram for oxygen?

Oxygen has two electrons in the first energy level, and six electrons in the second energy level. The electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p4. Each level can hold a maximum number of electrons based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the energy level.


The energy level that looks like a sphere is the s orbitial it can hold a maximum of electrons?

The s orbital of any energy level can only hold 2 electrons, or one pair due to the limited space and electron-electron repulsion.
