there are a maximum of 18 electrons on the level 3 or the third shell
8 electrons maximum
Actually the terms orbitals and shells are NOT interchangeable. The electron shell refers to the distance away from the nucleus, with each addition of a shell adding more possibilities for electron placement. The orbitals are actually within each shell. This is proven through the fact that the shells and orbital capacities are not the same. For example, the first shell can hold 2 electrons, the second shell can hold 8, and the third shell can hold 18. The first orbital, s, can hold 2 electrons. The second orbital, p, can hold 6 electrons. The third oribital, d, can hold 10 electrons; therefore not being the same as the shells.
Yes it is . The outer argon is full becoz it has 18 electrons
I think it's the valence shell
No atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer energy shell - there is the valence rule, stating that the maximum for the outer shell is 8 electrons.
The third shell........nucleus
The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. This shell consists of three subshells - s, p, and d - with each subshell being able to accommodate a certain number of electrons. The s subshell can hold up to 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons, and the d subshell can hold up to 10 electrons, totaling 18 electrons in the third shell.
there are two electrons the first shell hold
There are 3 shells total in the atom of Chlorine. The first shell has 2 electrons because the first shell of any atom can only hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons because the second shell of any atom can only hold 8 electrons maximum. The third shell holds 7 electrons in the Chlorine atom, but the third shell of any atom can hold up to 18 electrons as a maximum.
there are two electrons the first shell hold
The K shell of an atom can hold up to 2 electrons.
The L shells holds only 8 electrons. The M shell holds 8 electrons. However, it can hold up to 18 when the atomic number increases.
The bohr model of an atom shows the number of electrons, neutrons, and protons contained in the atom. Each electron is in an orbital (the lines), and the protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus (the center thingy).
18 total. 8 in its outermost shell.
P stands for Principal shell and it can hold 6 electrons.
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
