The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. This shell consists of three subshells - s, p, and d - with each subshell being able to accommodate a certain number of electrons. The s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons, and the d subshell can hold up to 10 electrons, totaling 18 electrons in the third shell.

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
How many electrons are found on the third shell of helium?
the number of electrons found in the third shell of an helium atom are nill because its atomic number is 2
How many electrons are there in the third noble gas shell of sodium atom Na atomic number 11?
The sodium atom (Na) has 11 electrons. The electron configuration of sodium is 2-8-1. The third noble gas shell is the second energy level or shell, which can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Therefore, the number of electrons in the third noble gas shell of sodium is 1.
How many electrons are present in the outer shell of an atom with an atomic number of 14 and an atomic weight of 29?
Atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So, in your example, the number of electrons in this atom is 14. The first energy shell can take 2 electrons, the second energy shell can take 8 electrons, and the third energy shell can take 18 electrons. If there are 14 total electrons, 10 would be found in the first two energy shells, leaving 4 for the third energy shell.
How does the Bohr model of the atom relate to the Periodic Table?
The Bohr model of the atom places electrons in orbits or "shells." Elements in the first period only have electrons in the first shell. Elements in the second period have electrons in the first two shells. Elements in the third period have electrons in the first three shells, and so on.
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 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
An atom of chlorine has several valence electrons in its what A nucleus Bfirst shell C second shell D third shell?
Third Shell
How many electrons are found on the third shell of helium?
the number of electrons found in the third shell of an helium atom are nill because its atomic number is 2
Is an atom stable if it has two electrons in the third shell?
No - it would want to lose these two electrons

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.
How many electrons can go in the first second and third shell of an atom?
The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 while the third shell can also hold a maximum of 8.
How many protons on the third shell of a sodium atom?
The protons are in the nucleus. It's the electrons that are in the "shells" around the nucleus. There's just one electron in the third shell of the sodium atom.
How many electrons are there in the third noble gas shell of sodium atom Na atomic number 11?
The sodium atom (Na) has 11 electrons. The electron configuration of sodium is 2-8-1. The third noble gas shell is the second energy level or shell, which can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Therefore, the number of electrons in the third noble gas shell of sodium is 1.
How many electrons can the second shell of an atom hold?
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
How many electrons are present in the outer shell of an atom with an atomic number of 14 and an atomic weight of 29?
Atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So, in your example, the number of electrons in this atom is 14. The first energy shell can take 2 electrons, the second energy shell can take 8 electrons, and the third energy shell can take 18 electrons. If there are 14 total electrons, 10 would be found in the first two energy shells, leaving 4 for the third energy shell.
