How many electrons fill the first 3 shells before electrons move to the next shell?

It would have 2 electron shells because the first shell can only hold up to two electrons and the second shell will be responsible for the rest of them.

2 s can hold 2 electrons
2 p can old 6 electrons
TOTAL electrons would be 10

You have two completely filled shells and no electrons anywhere else?
IF you have 2 complete full shells and no electrons any were else that means you have 2 electrons in the first shell and 8 electrons in the second shell which is 10 electrons in other words it is neon
How does the Bohr model of the atom relate to the Periodic Table?
The Bohr model of the atom places electrons in orbits or "shells." Elements in the first period only have electrons in the first shell. Elements in the second period have electrons in the first two shells. Elements in the third period have electrons in the first three shells, and so on.
How many electrons shells does a helium atom have?
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2; two electrons on the first (and the single) electron shell.
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.
Where on an atom can electrons can be found?
Electrons can be found in regions of space around the nucleus called electron shells or energy levels. These shells are designated by the principal quantum number, with the first shell closest to the nucleus and subsequent shells further away. Within each shell, electrons occupy specific orbitals, which are specific regions where electrons are most likely to be found.
How many electrons are needed to fill the first three electron shells?
6 electrons From the inside out, two, eight and eight.
Does the periodic table explain the shell model or does the shell model explain the periodic table?
The shell model explains the organization of the periodic table. The elements in the first period have electrons in the first shell; the elements in the second period have electrons in the first two shells; the elements in the third period have electrons in the first three shells; and so on.
How many electron shells does Argon have?
3 shells; 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second shell and 8 in the third shell.

What is the electronic structure of argon?
the number of electrons in each shell, i.e. 2 in the first shell, and 8 electrons in the other 2 shells.

What is different in number of shells in magnesium and sulphur?
There are no difference in the number of shells in magnesium and sulphur. Both elements contain 3 shells. However, the total number of electrons in the shells are different. Magnesium has 12 electrons in its shells whereas sulphur has 16 electrons in its shell. In addition, the electrons in the valence shell (outermost shell) are also different. Magnesium has 2 electrons in its valence shell whereas sulphur has 6 electrons in its valence shell.
How many electrons are in the first ten shells of an atom?
The number of electrons in any given shell can be represented by 2n2, where n = the shell number. The first shell has 2, second has 8, third has 18...
How many electrons are there in a first shell of a neutral neon atom?
Neon atom number 10: first shell (K) : 2 electrons second shell (L): 8 electrons all shells being filled up completely
How does the Bohr model of the atom relate to the Periodic Table?
The Bohr model of the atom places electrons in orbits or "shells." Elements in the first period only have electrons in the first shell. Elements in the second period have electrons in the first two shells. Elements in the third period have electrons in the first three shells, and so on.
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 shells are there in Nitrogen?
there are two shells of electrons in the nitrogen atom that actually have electrons in them, nitrogen has two electrons in the first shell, the S orbital, and five in the outer shell, the P orbital. this causes nitrogen to have a valence shell with five electrons.
