No. For an atom of any given element there is a maximum number of electrons possible in each energy level. For example, in iron the pattern is 2, 8, 14, 2, meaning that two electrons occupy the first energy level, eight the second, 14 the third and two the outermost. The outermost electrons of iron can participate in chemical bonding.
A neutral isotope of iron has 26 electrons. Iron has 4 energy levels as follows: * The first level holds 2 * The second level holds 8 * The third level holds 14 * The fourth level holds 2 So iron has 2 valence electrons. The Bohr diagram is shown below:
The number beside the letter represents the energy level. The letter represents the sub level. The exponent represents the number of electrons in the sub level. So in the case of: 1s^2 1 is the energy level; S is the sub level; ^2 is the number of electrons in the sub level.
The 3d sub-level has 5 orbitals, and therefore space for a total of 10 electrons. Excluding certain hyper-valent bonding scenarios, the first element with electrons to occupy the 3d sub-level is scandium (Sc).

Iron has 26 electrons in total. the first electron shell has 2 electrons, the second electron shell has 8 electrons, the third electron shell has 14 electrons and the final shell of iron(Fe) has 2 electrons.
Iron is on the lowest energy level (for nuclear energy), or near it. Converting other elements to iron or nickel will produce energy; the other way round it costs energy.Iron is on the lowest energy level (for nuclear energy), or near it.

It depends on what elements are involved. Iron has two electrons in its outer shell, Lead has four. While in a metal, the outer electrons flow freely over the surface of the solid, there is no net loss or gain of electrons, the atoms do not become ionized, and are considered to still have their original number of electrons.
The 3d sub-level has 5 orbitals, and therefore space for a total of 10 electrons. Excluding certain hyper-valent bonding scenarios, the first element with electrons to occupy the 3d sub-level is scandium (Sc).

It is all to do with the Aufbau and Pauli exclusion principle. The best way to illustrate is to fill up a bus with single people. They will tend to fill the empty seats first and then start sitting two people to a seat. In the same way due to energy considerations, an orbital can only have a maximum of two spin paired electrons in it. Anymore is energetically unfavorable. The same is true with each energy level. Each one can only hold a certain maximum of electrons. 1 = 2 2 = 8 3 =18 4 = 32 So with iron which has 26 electrons, they need 4 energy levels to fit these electrons in.
