A shell of an atom is meant to contain or hold an electron floating around the nucleus. They don't actually cover the whole atom. They're rings made of the electrons that float in orbit around the atom.but the answer is electron paths
The first shell of an atom is the K shell . The no.of electrons in a shell can be determined by the formula 2*n*n where n is the shell number . Therefore the no. of electrons present is the first shell , i.e. K-shell is 2*1*1 = 2 electrons .
they are circular rings that surrounds the nucleus of the atom. it contain the electrons which orbit round the nucleus.
A ring of electrons orbiting an atom's nucleus. The inner ring has a maximum of 2 electrons, and all other rings have a maximum of 8.
The valence shell.
This is usually called the valence shell
Here are placed the valence electrons.
The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
They are on the outside of the atom. (Apex 2021)

Valence shell
the valence shell
Yes.
The electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in orbit around the nucleus - so on the outside shell.
The electrons surround the nucleus of an atom in orbit around the nucleus - so on the outside shell.
your mom is found in the shell of an atom.
A sodium atom has one electron outside a closed shell, and a chlorine atom lacks one electron to fill a shell. A sodium chloride molecule forms by ionic bonding, the ionization of sodium and chlorine atoms and the attraction of the resulting positive and negative ions.
The outermost occupied energy shell of an atom is the valence shell, and it varies depending on the atom. It can be determined by looking at the period the atom is in on the periodic table.
An atom doesn't have a "shell" at all. Electrons orbit an atom at different layers each called a "shell", so your answer is no.
Whenever the outside shell of the atom, or valence shell, is completely full with electrons. Ex: The noble gases are lucky enough to start out stable because they fill their outer shells.
The valence shell is the outermost shell...and an atom can only have one outer shell.
The outer shell of an atom is the valence shell, which contains the valence electrons.
Ammonia is a molecule (NH3) and not an atom.
In the outermost shell that has electrons in it, those are called the valence electrons. For example carbon has 6 electrons, but only 4 are valence electrons because there are 2 in the shell in between it and the center of the element and 4 on the outside shell.
