∙ 9y agoIn order for an atom to be electronically stable, all the valence electrons need to be there. This could be as little as two, as is the case for hydrogen, but could also be four, six or eight. It all depends on the atom.

∙ 12y agoan atom needs 8 electrons in its outer shell to complete its octet.In some cases an atom has only 2 [e-] in in its outer shell and hence it is stable.with 8 [e-] in the outer shell the atom is stable...

How does the number of electrons in the outer energy levels relate to the position of an element in the periodic table?
Electrons in the outer most energy level is called "valence electrons." Groups are the columns of the periodic table. The more valence electrons (up to 8), the closer to the right. The number of electrons needed to make an atom stable is 8. (Minus Hydrogen and Helium, which only need 2 electrons to be stable.)
How many electrons are called are needed in the outer energy level of most atoms for the atom to be stable?
Eight electrons, called an octet, are needed by most atoms in order to be stable.
How many electron are needed to fill the outer energy level of sulfur?
6 electrons
What is the total number of electrons needed to completely fill all of the orbitals in an atoms second principal energy level?
8 electrons
What is one indicator that electrons in atoms are limited to specific energy levels?
There is a lot of evidence that backs this up, and is the reason that scientists needed to invent quantum physics to describe small molecules. Atomic spectroscopy is probably the most convincing. When we shoot energy at atoms, only certain very specific energies are released. In addition, molecules will only interact with very certain specific energies of electromagnetic radiation. These tow things lead us to believe that electrons only have specific levels of energy. In addition, there is a minimum energy that electrons can take, called the Zero Point Energy, below which electrons cannot go. It makes sense that there would be this minimum energy. Since electrons have a charge, they radiate energy as they orbit the charged nucleus of the atom. Eventually, the electron should radiate so much that it looses all its energy and fall into the nucleus. This would make matter very unstable. But because electrons only take on certain values, this doesn't happen!

8 are traditionally needed in the valence shell.

How many energy levels are needed for a lithium atom's three electrons when the atom is in its ground state?
Lithium has three electrons, two in the inner shell and a single one ouside that, so there are two energy levels. See the link below
Why do electrons jump when heated?
electrons jump energy levels becouse each level has a specific amount of energy needed inorder to be in that level. when an electron gets enough energy it jumps to the next level it can possible be in with that amount of energy.
How many electrons are needed to fill the second outer energy level?
8 electrons

CONCEALABLE CAMERAS: 29 (Enforcer) Needed on Hitman levels to get blackmail photos (energy needed: 609 minimum) BLACKMAIL PHOTOS: 403 (Hitman) 35 needed on Consigliere levels 184 needed on Boss levels for "Buy off Fed Agent" 184 needed on Boss levels for "Blackmail DA" (energy needed: 9,672) UNTRACEABLE CELL PHONES: 306 (Enforcer) 25 needed on Capo levels for "Flip A Snitch" 62 needed on Capo levels for "Dodge FBI trail" 35 needed on Consig levels for "Ransom kids" 184 needed on Underboss levels for "Order a hit" (energy needed: 6,426 minimum) ILLEGAL TRANSACTION RECORDS: 424 (Capo) 52 needed on Consig levels for "Fix the big game" 184 needed on Underboss levels for "Extort Corrupt Judge" 79 needed on Underboss levels for "Embezzle Funds" 109 needed on Boss levels for "Shake Down" (energy needed: 11,024 minimum) COMPUTER SET UP: 263 (Enforcer) 79 needed on Underboss levels for "Embezzle funds" 184 needed on Underboss levels for "Take over ID theft" (Enforcer) (energy needed: 5,523 minimum)
How many electrons are needed to fill up the first energy level?
The first energy level can take a maximum of two electrons.
What is needed to excite electrons?
For example when the electron absorb energy.
Where on the most reactive metals on the periodic table?
the bottom of the Periodic Table. why? a metal looses electrons and at the bottom of the periodic table is the lowest amount of ionization energy (the energy needed to remove electrons) with low ionization energy, not much energy is needed to remove those electrons making it faster and easier to do so.

The number of electrons needed to make an atom stable is 8. (Minus Hydrogen and Helium, which only need 2 electrons to be stable.)
What is the energy needed for the process of removing electrons and forming charged atoms is called?
The ionization energy of an element.
