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.

The 3rd level of an atom can hold how many electronss?
The third level of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
The 3rd energy level of an atom can hold how many electrons?
The 3rd energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
The first energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of how many electrons?
The first energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many electrons can an atom's third energy level hold?

How many electrons are there in each orbit of a neon atom?
In a neon atom, the first energy level or orbit can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. Therefore, a neon atom would have 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 electrons in the second energy level, and 8 electrons in the third energy level, totaling 18 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.
Are the atom is chemically stable when its outer energy level contains all the electrons it can hold?
yes
How many electrons can an atom's fourth outer energy level contain?
The fourth outer energy level of an atom can contain a maximum of 32 electrons. This is because each energy level can hold a maximum of 2n^2 electrons, where n is the principal quantum number of the energy level. In this case, the fourth energy level has a principal quantum number of 4, so it can hold 2(4^2) = 32 electrons.
The 3rd level of an atom can hold how many electronss?
The third level of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
The 3rd energy level of an atom can hold how many electrons?
The 3rd energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
The first energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of how many electrons?
The first energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many electrons can an atom's third energy level hold?
The third energy level of an atom can hold eight electrons.
How many electrons are there in each orbit of a neon atom?
In a neon atom, the first energy level or orbit can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. Therefore, a neon atom would have 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 electrons in the second energy level, and 8 electrons in the third energy level, totaling 18 electrons.
If an atom has 7 electrons how many electrons are located in the second energy level?
An atom with seven electrons will have five electrons in the second energy level.
According to quantum mechanics what is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the third energy level in a ground state atom?
The first level can hold 2, the second can hold 8, and the third can hold 18 electrons. However, the outer level never holds more than 8; therefore an atom containing only 3 levels will have only 8 in the 3rd level.
How many electrons does it neeed to gain to have a full outer shell?
1st energy level- 2 electrons 2nd energy level- 8 electrons 3rd energy level- 18 electrons To calculate the number of electrons other energy levels can hold, use the formula 2n^2. For example, to calculate the number of electrons the fourth level can hold, the equation would be 2(4)^2. This means that the fourth energy can hold 32 electrons. Same process for other levels.
Does the inner or outer orbits hold more electrons?
The inner orbits (closer to the nucleus) hold fewer electrons than the outer orbits. Each orbit has a maximum capacity of electrons it can hold based on its energy level. The further away an orbit is from the nucleus, the higher its energy level and the more electrons it can hold.
