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...
2,8,8,8
An atom with 10 electrons will have 2 electron shells. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons.
An oxygen atom has two shells. The first contains two electrons, and the second contains six electrons.
A fluorine atom has 2 electron shells. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, giving a total of 10 electrons for a fluorine atom.
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.
An atom with 16 electrons would have 3 electron shells. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third shell can hold up to 8 electrons.
It depends on the atomic number. If the atomic number is 5 it has five protons neutrons and electrons. The electrons make up the shells so the first shell is two electrons then the second 8 but there is only five so its an unstable atom.
16 electrons would fill up the first four shells in an atom: 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in the second shell, 4 electrons in the third shell, and 2 electrons in the fourth shell.
Neon atom number 10: first shell (K) : 2 electrons second shell (L): 8 electrons all shells being filled up completely
There are 2 electron shells around the nucleus of a beryllium atom. The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Since beryllium has 4 electrons, 2 electrons will be in the first shell and the remaining 2 electrons will be in the second shell.
A selenium atom typically contains 34 electrons distributed in different shells around the nucleus. The electrons are arranged in energy levels or shells, with the first shell holding a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell holding up to 8 electrons, the third shell holding up to 18 electrons, and the fourth shell holding up to 6 electrons for selenium.
Platinum is in the 6th period, meaning its atom has 6 energy shells. It is in Group 10 and has 78 electrons.
