It depends on what elements are involved. Iron has two electrons in its outer shell, Lead has four. While in a metal, the outer electrons flow freely over the surface of the solid, there is no net loss or gain of electrons, the atoms do not become ionized, and are considered to still have their original number of electrons.
Aluminum has 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 in the next and 3 in its outer one. This can be easily seen if one looks at its position on the Periodic Table.
Third energy level
You can determine the number of electrons in the outer level by the goup numbers. Like aluminum (atomic number 13) will have three in the outer level. There will be two in the first inner level. in the second level there will be eight. and in the last three.
yes.they have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
The maximum number of electrons in the second energy level of an atom is 8.
Aluminum has it's valence electrons in the 3rd energy level. Others that also have valence electrons in n=3 would be Na, Mg, Si, P, S, and Cl. Argon also has a filled 3rd level.
Three (3) electrons in this energy level.
n = 1: 2 electrons n = 2: 8 electrons n = 3: 3 electrons

The formula to determine the number of electrons in an energy level is 2n2, where n is the number of the energy level. For the fifth energy level, n=5. So the total number of electrons possible in the fifth energy level is 2(52) = 50.
the period number tells which is the highest energy level occupied by the electrons
Each aluminum isotope has 13 electrons. In accordance with the Aufbau Principle those electrons will fill: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p1. The shortcut notation is: [Ne] 3s2, 3p1.
2n2 where n is the energy level
The maximum number of electrons in the second energy level of an atom is 8.
