Two electrons can fit in the first shell
2 electrons are found in the first electron shell.
First orbital can be occupied by a total of 2 electrons and the second orbital can be occupied by a total of 8 electrons. 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 ( what element is this ? )
8 (just in the second shell) but if you're counting all of the electrons, including the first shell, then there are 10 electrons all together. Eight Electrons are the maximum.
Maximum number of electrons = 2n2, where n is the number of shell (n = 1 for K, 2 for L, 3 for M, and so on) K shell has 2 electrons maximum L shell has 8 electrons maximum M shell has 18 electrons maximum N shell has 32 electrons maximum O shell has 50 electrons maximum P shell has 72 electrons maximum
The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 while the third shell can also hold a maximum of 8.
There are 3 shells total in the atom of Chlorine. The first shell has 2 electrons because the first shell of any atom can only hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons because the second shell of any atom can only hold 8 electrons maximum. The third shell holds 7 electrons in the Chlorine atom, but the third shell of any atom can hold up to 18 electrons as a maximum.
2 in the first shell .every shell after that can have a maximum of 8.
Is called a shell. The first shell around the nucleus can hold a maximum of two electrons. While the second shell can hold a maximum of eight electrons.
If you are asking about the number of electrons then it would be 8. The first shell can hold a maximum number of 2 electrons. The second and third shell would have a maximum of 8 electrons each.
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
Second shell has a maximum of 8 electrons.
A shell of an atom is meant to contain or hold an electron floating around the nucleus. They don't actually cover the whole atom. They're rings made of the electrons that float in orbit around the atom.but the answer is electron paths
