In the first shell there are two electrons and in the second shell there are six electrons, but only the electrons in the second (outer) shell are valence electrons.

How many electron does oxygen have?
An electrically neutral oxygen atom has eight electrons, one for each proton in its nucleus. Two electrons are in the inner shell and six are in the outer shell.
How many electrons does the first shell of a atom contain?
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
How many shell do 2 electrons need?
Only one. The first shell can have up to 2 electrons.
How many electrons are in the first shell of Antimony?
2
How many electrons are needed in hydrogen helium carbon and oxygen to fill their respective valence shells?
Hydrogen has one electron and needs one more. Helium has two electrons and has filled shell. Carbon needs four more electrons to fill the valence shell Oxygen needs two more electrons to fill the valence shell
How many electrons are in the first shell of an atom of oxygen?
Oxygen has 8 electrons (assuming its charge is 0), and in the first shell ("closest" to the nucleus) there are 2 electrons. :)
How many electrons does oxygen have in its first shell?
69.
How many electrons are in the first and second shell of oxygen?
2 in the first 8 in the second etc...
How many electrons does oxygen have in it's first energy levels?
In the very first shell it has 2 and then it has 6 (in the second shell). =)
How many electrons are in the outer shell of O?
Oxygen has 2 valence electrons.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of 0 atom?
Oxygen: 6 electrons
How many electrons will the first shell hold?
there are two electrons the first shell hold
How many electons does an oxygen atom have in its outer shell?
An oxygen atom has six (6) electrons in its outer shell.
How many electrons to fill outer shell of oxygen?
Oxygen needs 2 electrons to fill it's valence shell which is why it forms a 2- ion.
How many electrons at the maximum can be present in the first shell?
Two electrons can fit in the first shell
How many electrons are in the first shell of a oxygen atom?
The electron configuration of an oxygen atom is (2, 6). Meaning it has 2 electrons in its first shell and 6 in its second.The energy levels of atoms are limited to how many electrons they can hold.The first energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons the second has a maximum of 8 and the third has a maximum of 18 etc.Hope this Helps!
How many electrons are there in the outer shell of an oxygen atom?
