The 3rd energy level of an atom can hold how many electrons?

The third energy level of an atom can hold eight electrons.

First energy level can hold 2 electrons.Second energy level can hold 2 + 6 = 8 electrons. Total = 10 electrons.

The first energy level of any atom can hold 2 electrons at most.

Maximum of 2n2, where n is the energy level.

Each inner energy level of an atom can hold a maximum number of electrons. Electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom in shells. Each shell has a set maximum number of electrons it can hold, and the shell has to be completely filled before electrons can start filling up the next shell.

an atom has different energy orbitals: s, p, d, and f. each orbital can hold two electrons. the outside energy or highest energy levels of electrons is called the valence shell or valence electrons. for an atom to be stable it wants the electron configuration for the valence shell to be "s2, p6." to answer your question the outer level of an atom can hold 8 electrons. it is called the valence shell.

No atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer energy shell - there is the valence rule, stating that the maximum for the outer shell is 8 electrons.

8 electrons maximum

An atom is not chemically stable unless its outmost energy level is filled.

the Energy level is supposed to hold the electrons. (B.T.W., electrons and protons are basically the same thing)

An orbit can also be called an energy level, which can be found in an atom. When an atom is 'excited', its electrons move up energy levels, changing it's shape from an S-cloud (circular) to a P-cloud (hourglass). Then, the electrons settle and go bake to their natural state. An 'S' level can hold 2 electrons A 'P' level can hold 6 electrons A 'D' level can hold 10 electrons and an 'F' electron can…

The maximum number of electrons that the 5th energy level can hold is 50 electrons. Different atoms can have 1, or 2, or 3, or more electrons in their 5th energy level, up to the maximum of 50 electrons.

A stairway is a good model for the energy levels in an atom because there is a 'main floor' ( the nucleus ) and steps ( the energy levels ). The nucleus is the start of the stairway of the energy levels, and the other energy levels go off of the nucleus. The first energy level can hold 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold 8. The third energy level can hold 18, and…

The second energy level of an atom can hold 8 electrons at most.

The fourth energy level on any atom can hold upto 2 x 42 = 32 electrons .

K,L,M,N N is the fourth shell. It can hold a maximum of 32 electrons. 2n2 is the maximum electrons for the energy level (n).

Maximum of 2n2 where n is the energy level

The energy levels of an atom hold electrons.

th,6th,7th energy level can hold?

The formula for determining the number of electrons that an energy level can hold is 2n2, where n is the energy level. The 4th energy level can hold 2(42), or 32 electrons.

Each energy level can hold different number of electrons. The first energy level holds 2, second holds 8, and third holds 8. Because the first two energy levels of sodium can only hold 10 electrons, the sodium has a third energy level to hold the 11th electron.

No, a atom is chemically stable when it outer shell are full.

An energy level is the fixed amount of energy that a system described by quantum mechanics, such as a molecule, atom, electron, or nucleus, can have. There are no full energy levels in an atom of hydrogen. The first energy level of any atom can hold 2 electrons. Hydrogen only has one electron and it is in the first energy level.

2 The innermost electron shell of an atom is the s orbital of the first energy level, which can contain only two electrons.

The maximum number of electrons that any atom can hold in its outer valence is 8. Oxygen has the electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p4, which means it can accept two more electrons.

The number of electrons in any shell can be found using the expression 2n2, where 'n' is the number of energy level (electronic shell of an atom).

The first level can hold 2, the second can hold 8, and the third can hold 18 electrons. However, the outer level never holds more than 8; therefore an atom containing only 3 levels will have only 8 in the 3rd level.

The fourth energy level can hold up to thirty-two (32) electrons.

The second energy level of atoms can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.

The first energy level in the quantum (current) theory of the atom is the 1s electron orbital, which can hold two electrons. The following energy levels go like this: 1s22s22p63s23p64s24p63d105s25p64d106s2... And so on. (The first number being the energy level, the letter being the shape of the electron orbital, and the superscript being the number of electrons the orbital can hold.)

The number of valence electrons is the number of electrons in the outer energy ring of an atom. The most electrons the first energy level of any atom can hold is two. The rest is 8. If the outer energy level is full, the atom will be less reactive because it cannot add any more electrons to it's current outermost energy level. If it only needs one or two more electrons to fill it's last…

The first energy level may hold only 2 electrons.

It can hold 2 electrons

Maximum of 8 electrons in second energy level.

Maximum of 8 electrons in second energy level.

Maximum of 18 electrons in the third energy level.

2 electrons maximum

The maximum number of electrons in an energy level (and I assume you mean energy shell- with a principal quantum number) is 2n2 where n is the princiapl quantum number This gives the numebr per level of 2, 8, 18, 32, 50

The third energy level can hold a total of 18 electrons. The third energy level can be expressed as energy level 3 : 3s2 ; 3p6 ; 3d10.

electrons fill energy levels by what size the level can hold, the starting level is level K it can hold two electrons and then the electrons increase in size the farther away from the nucleus it becomes.

The fourth energy level holds a maximum of 32 electrons.

The first energy level

the first energy level can only hold 2

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!

1st energy level- 2 electrons 2nd energy level- 8 electrons 3rd energy level- 18 electrons To calculate the number of electrons other energy levels can hold, use the formula 2n^2. For example, to calculate the number of electrons the fourth level can hold, the equation would be 2(4)^2. This means that the fourth energy can hold 32 electrons. Same process for other levels.

Maximum of 8 electrons in second energy level.

2 electrons can be held in a atoms first energy level

The first energy level can hold 2. The second level can hold 8. The third level can hold 18. Fourth and beyond can hold 32.
