How many electrons can the K shell of an atom hold?
The K shell of an atom can hold up to 2 electrons.
How many electrons can there be in the 2nd shell of an atom?
The second shell is 2S, 2P which can hold 8 total (2+6).
Each shell surrounding an atom is limited in the number of electrons it can have?
Yes. The shells of an atom have different limits for how many electrons they can hold depending on the size of the shell. For example, the limit of the first shell is just two electrons, but the bigger second shell can hold eight electrons.
How many electrons can the outer level of an atom hold?
an atom has different energy orbitals: s, p, d, and f. each orbital can hold two electrons. the outside energy or highest energy levels of electrons is called the valence shell or valence electrons. for an atom to be stable it wants the electron configuration for the valence shell to be "s2, p6." to answer your question the outer level of an atom can hold 8 electrons. it is called the valence shell.
How many electrons in each layer of an atom?
The Nth "shell" of an atom can hold 2N2 electrons. So 2 in the first, 8 in the second, 18 in the third, and so on. (Both "layer" and "shell" are a bit misleading, though "shell" at least is probably too historically ingrained to eliminate.)
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the second shell of an atom?
The second shell can hold eight electrons.
How many inner shell electrons in chlorine?
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.
How many electrons can go in the first second and third shell of an atom?
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.
How many electrons can the K shell of an atom hold?
The K shell of an atom can hold up to 2 electrons.
The second electron shell of an atom can hold a maximum of?
8 electrons maximum
How many electrons can there be in the 2nd shell of an atom?
The second shell is 2S, 2P which can hold 8 total (2+6).
Each shell surrounding an atom is limited in the number of electrons it can have?
Yes. The shells of an atom have different limits for how many electrons they can hold depending on the size of the shell. For example, the limit of the first shell is just two electrons, but the bigger second shell can hold eight electrons.
What atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer level?
No atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer energy shell - there is the valence rule, stating that the maximum for the outer shell is 8 electrons.
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the first shell of an atom?
The first shell can hold two electrons only.
How many of atoms are in the 3rd shell of an atom with 4 shells?
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.
How many electrons can the shell closest to nucleus hold?
The shell closest to the nucleus of an atom can only hold up to two electrons.
How many electrons can the outer level of an atom hold?
an atom has different energy orbitals: s, p, d, and f. each orbital can hold two electrons. the outside energy or highest energy levels of electrons is called the valence shell or valence electrons. for an atom to be stable it wants the electron configuration for the valence shell to be "s2, p6." to answer your question the outer level of an atom can hold 8 electrons. it is called the valence shell.
