What does t he energy levels of an atom hold?
The energy levels of an atom hold electrons.
How many energy levels are found in an atom of carbon?
There are 2 energy levels in a Carbon atom. The first energy level consists of '1s' orbital, and the second energy level consists of the '2s' orbital and the '2p' orbital.
If an atom has 11 electrons how many energy levels will it have?
The atom will have 3 energy levels. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third level can hold the remaining electron.
How many electrons does each of the levels of an atom hold?
Maximum of 2n2 where n is the energy level
How many energy levels are occupied in an atom of oxygen?
An atom of oxygen has 2 energy levels that are occupied - the first energy level (K shell) can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second energy level (L shell) can hold up to 6 electrons. Oxygen has a total of 8 electrons.
How many energy levels are in an atoms of Mg?
An atom of magnesium has 3 energy levels - the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third can hold up to 18 electrons.
How many energy levels does carbon have?
Carbon has 2 energy levels. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 6 neutrons.
If the first and second energy levels of an atom are full.what would be the total number of electrons in the atom?
First energy level can hold 2 electrons.Second energy level can hold 2 + 6 = 8 electrons. Total = 10 electrons.
How many energy levels are in a sulfur atom?
a sulfur atom has 3 energy levels. 2 on the first. 8 on the second and 6 on the third
How many electron energy levels are occupied in an aluminum atom?
In an aluminum atom, there are three electron energy levels that are occupied: 1s, 2s, and 2p. The 1s level can hold up to 2 electrons, and the 2s and 2p levels can each hold up to 6 electrons, for a total of 14 electrons in the aluminum atom.
How are electrons in atom organized?
Electrons occupied certain discrete energy levels around the nucleus.
Why a stairway is a good model for the energy levels in a atom?
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 fourth energy level can hold 32 electrons. In order for an element to be as stable as a noble gas, the outermost energy level has to be full, so sometimes an atom will gain or lose electrons to fill it's outer energy level. Other times it might share electrons with other atoms, so that they don't have to gain or lose a lot of electrons. An example of this would be H2O ( water ). There is one oxygen atom with two hydrogen atoms connected to it, and sharing their electrons with each other.
