these principle energy levels are satisfied first
Those closest to the nucleas
both S and P!
Closest to the nucleus

The concept of quantized energy levels, first proposed by Neils Bohr, states that electrons can only exist in certain possible energy levels, which he pictured as orbits around a nucleus since the energy of an electron is proportional to its distance from the nucleus.
Energy is either absorbed or released. If the electron goes from a high energy orbital to a lower energy one, a photon is emitted. When a photon is absorbed, the electron goes from low energy to high.
It gains energy in a quantized amount
Each electron orbit has a definite amount of energy, and the farther away the electron is from the nucleus, the greater is the energy level. The first level can hold two electrons, the second can hold up to eight, the third can hold up to eight as well, etc... ^.^
No, the tendency is to fill out lower energy levels first.
two
is the electron cloud
The hydrogen atom has only one electron.
Yes, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) both have the same number of electron energy levels. In sodium, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has one. In chlorine, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has seven. They both have three electron energy levels.
Its called the electron shell. Electrons will always fill up low orbitals first in the shell, an then as more energy is added to the atom, the electrons move up an orbit, then release the energy in some form, and they move back down to the lowest energy orbit.
The shape of the electron cloud is determined by the secondary quantum number. The first is n, or the energy level, the second is the sublevel, the third is the specific cloud, and the fourth is the spin.

The electrons of an atom are found in the electron cloud, an area of space surrounding the atom.The electrons circle around the atom in layers, called energy levels. The first level holds two electrons, the next holds eight, and the third level holds eighteen electrons. The levels continue to add up as more electrons are gained. The way to figure out how many electrons a level can hold is to multiply the level number by itself and multiply that answer by two. (e=L*L*2) The number of levels can continue rising.The electron cloud is very large; if an atom were a penny, the electron cloud would be the size of a college courtyard!
the element sodium has 1,000,000 million energy levels.
Energy is either absorbed or released. If the electron goes from a high energy orbital to a lower energy one, a photon is emitted. When a photon is absorbed, the electron goes from low energy to high.
2 can fit in the first energy level, 8 can fit in the second, and there is an infinite number that can fit in the 3rd.
