J.J Thompson discovered the electron during his famous cathode ray tube experiment in 1897, but it was actually Niels Bohr who discovered the electron shell (by accident), performing an x-ray experiment in 1909.

It was an ad hoc model, but it worked.

What is a shell in chemistry?
Shell or energy level corresponds to the shell in which the electrons are present.
How many electron shells does the beryllium atom have?
Two energy shells. Made up as 1s2, 2s2 Shells 1 & 2 each have only 's' orbital and each orbital has only two electrons in it. The outer shell '2' is more energetic. The electrons are paired and spin in opposite directions to each other.
The tendency of atoms in stable molecules to have eight electrons in their outermost shells is know as the?
The tendency of some atoms to have 8 electrons in their outermost shell (two e- in the S orbital and six e- in the P orbital) is called the "octet rule."
Why is sulfur larger than oxygen?
Sulfur is larger than oxygen because it has more protons in its nucleus and more electrons in the orbital shells.
How many electrons can go into a orbital?
In an atom, electrons are in "shells", the first shell is around the center of the atom and holds a maximum of 2 electrons. Each subsequent shell out, will hold a maximum of 8 electrons. there is no maximum number of shells.
Who developed the idea of electrons shells also called orbital shell's?
Albert Einstein albert Einstein
Electrons spin about the nucleus at certain general levels called what?
Orbital shells.
How many orbital shells do boron have?
Boron has 2 shells altogether. 2 electrons on the first one and the remaining three on the second. Altogether boron (B) has 5 electrons.
What is the space occupied by the electrons called?
they are called electron shells or sometime orbits. there are 32 electron shells. this is also called the electric cloud in the modern atomic model.
How many shells are there in Nitrogen?
there are two shells of electrons in the nitrogen atom that actually have electrons in them, nitrogen has two electrons in the first shell, the S orbital, and five in the outer shell, the P orbital. this causes nitrogen to have a valence shell with five electrons.
A three-dimensional region around a nucleus where an electron may be found is called an?
an orbital. there are two electrons in each orbital, and groups of orbitals make up shells
Electron shells in oxygen?
The 1S orbital will hold the innermost pair of electrons.
What is a shell in chemistry?
Shell or energy level corresponds to the shell in which the electrons are present.
How many electron orbital shells does francium have?
Francium has seven electron shells; electrons per shell: 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 8, 1.
How many electron shells does the beryllium atom have?
Two energy shells. Made up as 1s2, 2s2 Shells 1 & 2 each have only 's' orbital and each orbital has only two electrons in it. The outer shell '2' is more energetic. The electrons are paired and spin in opposite directions to each other.
What is the electron configuration of an element?
The electron configuration of an element shows the number of electrons in their energy levels and orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of a neutral magnesium atom, Mg, with 12 electrons, is 1s22s22p63s2. This means that there are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level, two electrons in the s orbital and six electrons in the p orbital of the second energy level, and two electrons in the s orbital of the third energy level. The number in front of each letter represents the energy level, the letter represents the orbital, and the superscripts represent the number of electrons in the orbital.
What is an orbital that has a shared electron?
Shared electrons are found only in outer shells, and this happens when there is a covalent bond formed with another atom.
