first energy level contains only S shell that can accomadate 2 electrons where as 2nd energy level contains S shell and P shell as well which can accomadate 2 and 6(3X2) electrons respectively..so the answer is 8 for 2nd energy level.
(or)
No.of electrons in any main energy level = 2n2
Here n = orbit (or energy level) number
In our question , n = 2
No.of electrons in 2nd energy level = 2(2)2 = 8
The second energy level of atoms can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
The answer that you wish to acquire is ionization energy. pretty sure at least. ;)
Erwin Schrodinger
2s^2 2p^6 8 electrons total
The sharing of electrons in the outer energy levels of two atoms is called bonding.
Maximum of 8 electrons in second energy level.
The second energy level of atoms can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
Calcium atoms have 8 electrons in the second energy level. However, they are not the valence electrons. The outermost electrons in a calcium atom in the ground state are 2 4s electrons. So calcium atoms in the ground state have 2 valence electrons in the fourth energy level.
8
The number of electrons of both atoms and its valence number.
8 electrons
Carbon. Carbon is in the second period, so it has electrons in its second energy level, and it is in the fourth group in the second energy level, so it has 4 electrons.
The answer that you wish to acquire is ionization energy. pretty sure at least. ;)
Erwin Schrodinger
The chemical behavior is determined largely by the number of valence electrons.
2s^2 2p^6 8 electrons total
if you're talking about atoms, 8 electrons can sit in the second energy level. two sit in the 2s orbital and 6 in the 2p orbital.
