The first shell can hold up to two electrons, second up to eight electrons, third up to 18 electrons and the subsequent shells can have up to 32 electrons in each.
Maximum of 2n2, where n is the energy level.
The fourth energy level can hold up to thirty-two (32) electrons.
The third energy level of an atom can hold eight electrons.
18 electrons
There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.
up to 32 electrons
Maximum of 2n2, where n is the energy level.
The first energy level can hold 2. The second level can hold 8. The third level can hold 18. Fourth and beyond can hold 32.
The fourth energy level can hold up to thirty-two (32) electrons.
The fourth energy level can hold up to thirty-two (32) electrons.
The second energy level of atoms can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
Maximum of 2n2 where n is the energy level
The third energy level of an atom can hold eight electrons.
Each inner energy level of an atom can hold a maximum number of electrons. Electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom in shells. Each shell has a set maximum number of electrons it can hold, and the shell has to be completely filled before electrons can start filling up the next shell.
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.
Each electron orbit has a definite amount of energy, and the farther away the electron is from the nucleus, the greater is the energy level. The first level can hold two electrons, the second can hold up to eight, the third can hold up to eight as well, etc... ^.^
Each energy level can hold different number of electrons. The first energy level holds 2, second holds 8, and third holds 8. Because the first two energy levels of sodium can only hold 10 electrons, the sodium has a third energy level to hold the 11th electron.
