The maximum number of electrons that can be held in an atom's second energy level is?
2
How many electrons can be held in the energy level?
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in an energy level is given by the 2n^2 rule, where n is the principal quantum number of the energy level. So, for example, the first energy level (n=1) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second energy level (n=2) can hold a maximum of 8 electrons, and so on.
How many electrons canbe held in the second energy level?
The second energy level (n =2 ) has 1 s orbtial, and 3 p orbitals. The s contains 2 electrons, and each p contains 2 electrons (for a total of 6 electrons in the 3 p orbitals). Thus, the second energy level can hold a maximum of EIGHT (8) electrons.
How many electrons can be held in the second energy level of atoms and how can this be determined?
first energy level contains only S shell that can accomadate 2 electrons where as 2nd energy level contains S shell and P shell as well which can accomadate 2 and 6(3X2) electrons respectively..so the answer is 8 for 2nd energy level. (or) No.of electrons in any main energy level = 2n2 Here n = orbit (or energy level) number In our question , n = 2 No.of electrons in 2nd energy level = 2(2)2 = 8
How many electrons are held in the first energy level?
as far as i know the first energy level can only hold two(2) electrons.. (remember 1s1 1s2).
Valence electrons are those?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are involved in chemical bonding and determining an element's reactivity.
What is the energy level farthest away from the nucleus of the atom that holds 8 or more valence electrons?
The valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding. The electrons more loosely held by the nucleus - are the ones that are gained, lost or shared.
What is the outer most energy level of an atom?
This is the valence shell and is involved in bonding e.g. the sharing or loss of electrons to form a molecule or giant structure. Inner shells do not take part in bonding though their shielding effect and repulsion does affect the loss and gain of electrons from this shell.
What is the energy level for germanium?
The energy level for germanium depends on its electronic configuration, which includes both valence and core electrons. Germanium typically has four valence electrons that determine its chemical properties, while its core electrons are found in inner shells closer to the nucleus. These core electrons are held more tightly and have lower energy levels compared to the valence electrons.
How many electrons can be held in a third orbit?
The maximum number of electrons that can be held in the third orbit of an atom is 18. This is based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of the orbit. For the third orbit (n=3), the maximum number of electrons is 2 x 3^2 = 18.
Number of electrons that can be held in the second orbit?
The second energy level (orbit) can hold 8 electrons.
How can you explain the fact that lanthanides are highly electropositive and metallic?
All have few outer energy level electrons which are loosely held by the atom.
