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.

Is the outer shell of nickel full?
no its outside shell has 10/18 electrons
How many valence electrons will most elements have after forming an ion?
Atoms often form ions by losing or gaining enough electrons to end up with a full outer shell. How many electrons are in a full outer shell for most atoms? Don't know? How about Googling full outer shell?
How many valance electrons in neon?
Eight - it has a full outer shell of electrons.
Each atom is left with a what outer shell?
Electron outer shell tee hee =^-^=
How come the net charge of aluminum ions is plus 3 because there are-?
A neutral aluminum atom has 3 electrons in its outer shell and a full outer shell of 8 electrons below that. This full outer shell is stable, so aluminum will lose its 3 outer shell electrons to achieve that configuration.
Argon is a stable gas with a very high ionization energy Which statement explains why?
It has a full outer shell of electrons
How many more valence electrons does magnesium need to have a full outer valence shell?
it needs six more electrons to have a full outer valence shell.
What would be the charge of a beryllium atom that has a full outer shell?
Beryllium has 2 outer shell electrons. Its full electronic configuration is:- 1s2, 2s2
An element is inactive if?
It has a full outer shell of electrons.

Why do noble gases not normally form compounds?
Noble gases have a full outer shell, meaning that they have no valence electrons and have 8 electrons in their outer shell. If the outer shell is full they do not need electrons, so they would not want to bond with another element to form a compound.
How many valance electrons in neon?
Eight - it has a full outer shell of electrons.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of Ar?
Argon has eight valence (outer) shell electrons. It is a Noble Gas so its valence shell is full (Octet Rule).
Why is chlorine diatomic?
A lone chlorine atom has 7 outer shell electrons, 1 electron short of a full outer shell of 8 electrons, which is stable. In order to achieve this full outer shell two chlorine atoms share a pair of electrons, with each atom contributing 1 electron to the pair. By sharing electrons in this manner the chlorine atoms achieve a full outer shell.
