8 electrons can be accommodated in the 2nd shell (aka 2nd energy level). 2 in the 2s orbital and 6 in the 2p orbitals.
First orbital can be occupied by a total of 2 electrons and the second orbital can be occupied by a total of 8 electrons. 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 ( what element is this ? )
It depends what electronic state it's found in, but in it's ground state (natural form) it has two electrons in the first shell, eight in the second and none in the third. This is because it has an atomic number of 10. 2+8 = 10.
The maximum number is 8 electrons in the second shell.
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
Second shell has a maximum of 8 electrons.
Carbon has 4 electrons on its second shell. This is calculated based on the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the second shell, which is 8.
In the first shell of oxygen, there are 2 electrons, and in the second shell, there are 6 electrons. Oxygen has 8 electrons in total, with 2 of them in the first shell and the remaining 6 in the second shell.
The second shell can hold eight electrons.
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.
This element is sulfur (S), with 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in the second shell, and 6 electrons in the third shell.
The second electron shell can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in total. In its second shell, fluorine will have a maximum of 8 electrons, but since it has 7 electrons already in the first shell, it will only have 1 electron in the second shell.
