The number of electrons that can occupy each shell in an atom is determined by the formula 2n2, where n is the shell number.
Each sulfur atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
The penultimate shell can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons. This is based on the maximum number of electrons that can occupy each subshell within the penultimate shell (s = 2 electrons, p = 6 electrons).
Yes. The shells of an atom have different limits for how many electrons they can hold depending on the size of the shell. For example, the limit of the first shell is just two electrons, but the bigger second shell can hold eight electrons.
well the first shell can only contain 2 electrons then in the second shell and up you can have up to eight that is how it goes
In a covalent bond, each atom retains its outer shell of electrons. The atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve a full outer shell, which makes the bond stable.
If by occupy, you mean what space do they occupy since they are subatomic they can fit in anything. However we don't know if they can go inside black hole but since they are infinitely dense it seems unlikely.
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.
Each sulfur atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
If you are asking about the number of electrons then it would be 8. The first shell can hold a maximum number of 2 electrons. The second and third shell would have a maximum of 8 electrons each.
2 in the first shell .every shell after that can have a maximum of 8.
The electronic configuration by shell for the element Platinum is the same as the filled shells of Xenon (q.v.), plus the following added: 14 electrons in the 4f shell, 9 in the 5d shell, and one in the 6s. Note that protons do not occupy shells in the atom but are bound in the nucleus.
Electron outer shell tee hee =^-^=
An electrically neutral oxygen atom has eight electrons, one for each proton in its nucleus. Two electrons are in the inner shell and six are in the outer shell.
The penultimate shell can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons. This is based on the maximum number of electrons that can occupy each subshell within the penultimate shell (s = 2 electrons, p = 6 electrons).
Yes. The shells of an atom have different limits for how many electrons they can hold depending on the size of the shell. For example, the limit of the first shell is just two electrons, but the bigger second shell can hold eight electrons.
To determine how many electrons are in each shell (or energy level), you simply take two times the number of the shell or level squared. Two electrons are allowed in the first shell, eight in the second shell, eighteen in the third shell, thirty two in the fourth shell, fifty in the fifth shell, seventy two in the fifth shell, and so on.
There are a total of six electrons that occupy the p orbital of a neutral silicon atom. The p sublevel can hold a maximum of six electrons, with each p orbital accommodating two electrons with opposite spins.
