2 in the first
6 in the second leaving two spots for stabilization.
There is no third energy level of oxygen, there is only two. The second energy level has 6 electrons.
More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.
More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.
Oxygen has two electrons in the first energy level, and six electrons in the second energy level. The electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p4. Each level can hold a maximum number of electrons based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the energy level.
Oxygen atoms contain exactly two unpaired electrons. This is because oxygen has 6 total electrons, with 2 in the first energy level and 4 in the second. Two of the electrons in the second energy level are unpaired.
An oxygen atom has eight electrons. The first electron shell can contain two electrons so that shell is filled leaving six electrons left. Since the second electron shell can contain up to eight electrons, the remaining six electrons go into the second shell. Since the second shell is the outermost shell, there are six electron's in the outer energy level.
The second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Magnesium has 12 electrons, so in its second energy level, there will be 8 electrons (2 in the first energy level and 8 in the second energy level).
In the second energy level of an atom, there can be a maximum of 8 electrons. Magnesium has 12 electrons in total, with 2 electrons in the first energy level and 8 electrons in the second energy level.
An atom with seven electrons will have five electrons in the second energy level.
An atom of oxygen has 2 energy levels that are occupied - the first energy level (K shell) can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second energy level (L shell) can hold up to 6 electrons. Oxygen has a total of 8 electrons.
A boron atom has three electrons in its second energy level.
In the very first shell it has 2 and then it has 6 (in the second shell). =)
