How many electrons are in each of the first two shells if an atom contains eight electrons?
The first shell can have 2 electrons, the second shell has 8 electrons and the third shell has 8 electron also. No matter what, electron fill up the first shell and then move into the next shell and then the next one. To answer the question, the first shell would have 2 electron and then the second shell would have six.
Valence electron of fluorine?
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. 2 In the first electron shell, and 5 in the second electron shell.
What is the electron arrangement in a boron atom?
2 electrons in the first shell then 3 electrons in the second shell
If electrons have the most energy in an atom electrons in an electron cloud electrons in the outermost electron shell electrons in the innermost electron shell electrons in the nucleus?
Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
How many electrons would carbon have in its outermost shell?
1 atom of the element, carbon, would have 4 electrons in its outer most shell. It's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2px1 2py1. 2 is the outer most shell, so there are 4 electrons in shell 2.
How many electrons does carbon have in its first electrons shell?
Carbon has 2 electrons in it's first electron shell. All elements except hydrogen do.
What is the Electron confirguartion of Iron?
Iron has 26 electrons in total. the first electron shell has 2 electrons, the second electron shell has 8 electrons, the third electron shell has 14 electrons and the final shell of iron(Fe) has 2 electrons.
What is the overall of an atom?
The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.
How many electrons are in each of the first two shells if an atom contains eight electrons?
The first shell can have 2 electrons, the second shell has 8 electrons and the third shell has 8 electron also. No matter what, electron fill up the first shell and then move into the next shell and then the next one. To answer the question, the first shell would have 2 electron and then the second shell would have six.
What is the maximum number of electrons in the first shell?
2 electrons are found in the first electron shell.
How many electrons does carbon need to have the outermost energy shell filled?
Carbon needs to have 8 electron in its outermost shell to have it completely filled, 4 more valence electrons than it has in the neutral for of carbon.
Valence electron of fluorine?
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. 2 In the first electron shell, and 5 in the second electron shell.
How many electrons shells does a helium atom have?
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2; two electrons on the first (and the single) electron shell.
When compared with the energy of an electron in th first shell of a carbon atom the energy of an electron in the second shell of a carbon atom is?
greater
What is the electron arrangement in a boron atom?
2 electrons in the first shell then 3 electrons in the second shell
If electrons have the most energy in an atom electrons in an electron cloud electrons in the outermost electron shell electrons in the innermost electron shell electrons in the nucleus?
Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
2 Electron in firsat shell 8 electrons in second shell and 6 electrons in third shell?
No, its two electrons in the first, 8 electrons in the 2nd and 3rd shell if its stable
