How many electrons would hydrogen require to fill up the first shell?
hydrogen has only one shell and since it has atomic number one, its net number of electrons is one. the first shell can hold maximum of 2 electrons due to the bohr bury formula. so the number of electrons in its first shell is 1. to fill it 1 electrons are required which can be gained from any metal.
How many electrons are in the first shell of beryllium?
Beryllium like every other element excluding hydrogen has 2 electrons in its first shell.
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 electrons are needed to fill the first three electron shells?
6 electrons From the inside out, two, eight and eight.
In a Bohr-Rutherford diagram of a silicon atom how many electrons fill each electron shell?
well the first shell can only contain 2 electrons then in the second shell and up you can have up to eight that is how it goes

How many electrons are needed to fill carbon outer shell?
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.

How many electrons does nitrogen require to fill its outer shell?
Its atomic number is 7, and so it needs a further 3 electrons to fill its outer shell.
How many number of electrons to fill the outer shell of carbon?
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
How many electrons does it take to fill up the third shell?
18 electrons
How many valence electrons will beryllium gain or lose to fill its outer shell?
Beryllium will lose 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule (to fill its outer shell).
