No, on the most inner shell, only 2 electrons can be held, but then on every other shell it is usally 8

How many electrons does krypton have in each electron shell?

how many energy levels are filled in a krypton atom They have four levels. You always put 2 in the first. 8 in the second. 18 in the third. And I believe you are able to put 36 in the fourth level, but correct me if I'm wrong about the fourth level.


How many electrons does carbon have in its first electron shell?

Carbon has two electrons in its inner shell and four in its outer shell.


How many electrons are shown in the electron dot structure of carbon?

The electron-dot representation of a carbon atom show only four dots because the dots represent only the valence electrons (the ones placed in the outermost shell). The carbon atom has four electrons in it's outermost shell. !


How many electron shells does chromium have?

Chromium has two electrons in the outer most shell.


What is the electron shell configuration of potassium?

The shell configuration of potassium is 2,8,8,1.


How many atoms with 1 electron in their outer most shells bond with an atom which has 4 electrons in its outer most shell?

Four atoms with 1 electron in their outermost shells will bond with one atom that has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. This results in the formation of a stable compound with each atom achieving a full outer shell of electrons through sharing or transferring of electrons.


What feature allows carbon to form four covalent bonds?

Carbon has four valence electrons, allowing it to form four covalent bonds with other atoms. This enables carbon to reach a stable electron configuration by sharing electrons with multiple atoms to complete its outer shell.


How many electrons would carbon have in its outermost shell?

1 atom of the element, carbon, would have 4 electrons in its outer most shell. It's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2px1 2py1. 2 is the outer most shell, so there are 4 electrons in shell 2.


Does carbon have four electrons?

carbon has totally six electrons. Out of these, four electrons are in the valence shell or the outer most shell.


What is the electron arrangement in germanium?

The electron arrangement in germanium is 2-8-18-4, following the aufbau principle and filling the electron orbitals starting from the lowest energy level to the highest. This means that germanium has two electrons in its first shell, eight in its second shell, eighteen in its third shell, and four in its outermost shell.


What is the number of electrons that each energy level or electron shell needs to fill the first four electron shells?

s^2 p^6 d^10 f^14 or 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^10 4s^2 4p^6 4d^10 4f^14 Depending on what you meant.


If an atom has fewer than 4 electrons in its outer shell does it looses electrons gain electrons or both?

The atom wants to have eight or full electrons in its outer valence ring... so if it has four electrons in its outer shell it has the choice of loosing four electrons or finding four electrons somewhere else (whichever is the easiest for it to bond with).
