First shell contains atmost two electrons. The formula is 2n. where n is the no. of shell u want to calculate its capacity of no of electrons..thanku

What is the outside shell of an atom?
A shell of an atom is meant to contain or hold an electron floating around the nucleus. They don't actually cover the whole atom. They're rings made of the electrons that float in orbit around the atom.but the answer is electron paths
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the first shell of an atom?
The first shell can hold two electrons only.
What is the configuration of an atom with 31 electrons?
the first shell: 2 electrons The second shell: 8 electrons The third shell: 18 electrons The fourth shell: 3 electrons
What determines whether or not an atom reacts with other atoms is it the electrons on the first shell or the second?
valence electrons or the electrons on the outer most shell.
What Has 2 electrons in first shell 8 in the 2nd and 6 in the 3rd shell?
sulfur atom
How many electrons can the inner shell of an atom contain?
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.

How electrons does a helium atom have in its first shell?
Two electrons.
In what shell do valence electrons locate in?
Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
In a Bohr-Rutherford diagram of a silicon atom how many electrons fill each electron shell?
well the first shell can only contain 2 electrons then in the second shell and up you can have up to eight that is how it goes
How many inner shell electrons in chlorine?
There are 3 shells total in the atom of Chlorine. The first shell has 2 electrons because the first shell of any atom can only hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons because the second shell of any atom can only hold 8 electrons maximum. The third shell holds 7 electrons in the Chlorine atom, but the third shell of any atom can hold up to 18 electrons as a maximum.
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the first shell of an atom?
The first shell can hold two electrons only.
An atom that has 3 electrons in its second shell and a filled first shell will?
lose 3 electrons from its second shell
The inner shell of any atom can contain up to how many electrons?
two
What is the configuration of an atom with 31 electrons?
the first shell: 2 electrons The second shell: 8 electrons The third shell: 18 electrons The fourth shell: 3 electrons
What is the electron arrangement in a boron atom?
2 electrons in the first shell then 3 electrons in the second shell
What are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom?
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.
