1st level : 2
2nd level : 8
3rd level : 18
4th level : 32
You can figure it out by the formula 2n^2 (2 times n squared) where n is the energy level.
So, level 5 is 2 (5x5) = 50.
The above is the maximum number, not necessarily the number in each energy level in any given element, because an element does not necessarily fill an entire energy level before moving on to the next one.
the 1st level consists of 2 electrons. After that it is 8.
*At least until you get into D and F configurations in which case you fill in electrons as follows:
1s2 -> 2s2 -> 2p6 -> 3s2 -> 3p6 -> 4s2 -> 3d10 -> 4p6 -> 5s2 -> 4d10 -> 5p6 -> 6s2 -> 5f14 -> 5d10 -> 6p6 -> 7s2 -> 6f14 -> 6d10 -> 7p6
Where 1s2: 1 is the energy level, s is the orbital, 2 is the max number of electrons it can hold.
So an energy level can contain from 2 - 32 electrons in one energy level.
in the first energy level there cold be 2 and in the second level there could be 8 but the others cant go passed 8
In the first level, there can only be two. In the second level, there can be up to eight. And, in all of the leves following, there can be no more than eight.
Doesn't that depend on the element? I think there can be from 0 to 8.
2, 8, 18, 32
Maximum of 2n2, where n is the energy level.
If you mean energy levels then the first level has 2 electrons, and the other levels contain 8 electrons for each level
K (potassium) has 2 electrons the the 1st energy level, 8 each in the 2nd and 3rd, and 1 electron in the 4th.
The first energy level can contain 2 electrons. The second energy level can contain 8 electrons. The third energy level can contain 18 electrons.
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
Maximum of 2n2, where n is the energy level.
