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.

∙ 11y agodifferent for each energy level. # electrons = 2n^2 (squared) where n is the energy level.
1st energy level n=1 max # electrons = 2x(1x1) = 2
2nd energy level n = 2 max # electrons = 2x(2x2) = 8 etc

∙ 14y agoI think you mean a full octet: a maximum of 8 electrons per shell. The only exception is the first, innermost shell which can only hold 2 electrons. The only 2 elements which can not hold a full octet are hydrogen and helium.

Do noble gasses have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
yes.they have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
These vary in the number of electron in the highest energy level?
Transition metals vary in the number of electrons in the highest level. Alkaline earth metals have two electrons in the highest energy level.
What is the maximum number of electron found in the fourth main shell of an atom?
Use the formula n2 = max. number of electrons in shell. 42 = 16. 16 electrons.
How many electrons are there in 1234567 shell?
The number of electrons that are possible in a given energy level is given by the formula 2(n2), where n is the energy level. So you square the energy level and multiply times two. This gives you the electron capacity for that energy level. For example, the possible electron capacity for energy level 6 is 2(62), which is 2 x 36, which is 72. So the 6th energy level can take a maximum of 72 electrons.
What is the number for electrons on hydrogen's first energy level?
Hydrogen's electron configuration is 1s1. It has only one electron. It is located in the first energy level.
What is the maximum number of electron that may occupy the third electron energy level?
8 is the maximum number in the outermost energy level!
What is the maximum number of electrons in each of the first three energy level list separately?
is the electron cloud

Do noble gasses have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
yes.they have the maximum number of electrons in their outer energy level?
The total number of electrons inan electron shell is reepresented by the formula 2n . is this correc?
The maximum number of electrons in a shell / energy level is given by 2n2.
These vary in the number of electron in the highest energy level?
Transition metals vary in the number of electrons in the highest level. Alkaline earth metals have two electrons in the highest energy level.
What is the maximum number of electron found in the fourth main shell of an atom?
Use the formula n2 = max. number of electrons in shell. 42 = 16. 16 electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons allowed in the fourth energy level?
32 electrons is the maximum number that can simultaneously maintain the fourth energy level in an atom's electron shell. The equation used to find this number is: 2 x n2 in which "n" is the energy level being referred too. To find the maximum electron count for the fourth energy level we insert the number four in for "n" then solve: 2 x (4)2 = 32 electrons
How many electron are occupy in energy sub level?
there is a maximum of 6 electrons in the 'p'sublevel
What is the maximum number of electrons in second electron level?
The maximum number is 8 electrons in the second shell.
What is the maximum number of electron in the second principle energy level?
The maximum number of electrons in the second principle energy level (n=2) is 8. This can be determined from 2(n^2) which for n=2 would be 2 x 4 = 8. It can also be seen by writing the electron configuration for n=2 which would be 2s2 2p6 for a total of 8 electrons.
