im learning this in science, the most direct answer is 8, the equation to figure this out is 2 times n times n where n is the energy level in this case, 2, so 2 times 2 times 2=8. but once you get to the 18th element (i believe it is potassium) and above this equation no longer applies, but the most number of electrons possible on the second shell is still 8, no matter what element
Carbon has 4 electrons on its second shell. This is calculated based on the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the second shell, which is 8.
The second electron shell can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
In the first shell of oxygen, there are 2 electrons, and in the second shell, there are 6 electrons. Oxygen has 8 electrons in total, with 2 of them in the first shell and the remaining 6 in the second shell.
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in total. In its second shell, fluorine will have a maximum of 8 electrons, but since it has 7 electrons already in the first shell, it will only have 1 electron in the second shell.

In the first shell there are two electrons and in the second shell there are six electrons, but only the electrons in the second (outer) shell are valence electrons.
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
8 electrons
A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in total. In its second shell, fluorine will have a maximum of 8 electrons, but since it has 7 electrons already in the first shell, it will only have 1 electron in the second shell.
it takes 8 electrons for the second shell to be considered full
There 8 electrons in the second shell.

14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.
