Two electrons can fit into the first orbital shell of any atom.
3d^6 Six electrons in the outer shell.
Be (beryllium) has four electrons total: the first orbital, the 1s orbital, has two, which leaves two electrons in the outer shell.
There are two electrons in the first shell of neon. Its complete electronic configuration is 2,8
In nitrogen, the inner shell consists of two electrons, which fill the 1s orbital.
There can be 10 electrons in the n=2 shell. Two can fit in the 1s orbital, two can fit in the 2s orbital, and six can fit in the 2p orbital.
An atom with six protons would be a carbon atom. It would have six electrons, two in the first shell, the 1s orbital, and four in the second shell, two 2s electrons and two 2p electrons. The 2p orbital is further out than the 2s, so depending how detailed you want to be there are either four in the second shell, or two in the 2p orbital.
Two. The valence shell is six and the 6s orbital has 2 electrons.
When a typical atom's outer orbital is filled, it will have 8 electrons, except for helium which will have 2 electrons. This is because the outer orbital, known as the valence shell, can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
I believe its 18 electrons on the 3rd orbital shell
Two (2) electrons (s shell)Eight (8) electrons (2 in s, 6 in p)Eighteen (18) electrons (2 in s, 6 in p, 10 in d)The periodic table PDF at Los Alamos National Laboratory is pretty good and has the shell configurations. See related link.
The three in that sequence lets an observer know how many electrons are filled for that particular shell. In this case, the 2p shell has 3 out of 6 possible spaces filled.
