Maximum of 2n2, where n is the energy level.
The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second can hold up to 8 electrons, the third can hold up to 18 electrons, and the fourth can hold up to 32 electrons, following the 2n^2 rule where n is the energy level number.
Each circle in an electron configuration diagram represents an energy level or shell where electrons can be found. The first circle can hold up to 2 electrons, the second circle can hold up to 8 electrons, the third circle can hold up to 18 electrons, and so on.
A maximum of 110. But for any given element, each energy level is not necessarily filled completely before moving on to the next one, so you have to look up the electron configuration for each one to be sure how many electrons it has in each of its shells.
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.
up to 32 electrons
The second energy level of atoms can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second can hold up to 8 electrons, the third can hold up to 18 electrons, and the fourth can hold up to 32 electrons, following the 2n^2 rule where n is the energy level number.

The first energy level can contain 2 electrons. The second energy level can contain 8 electrons. The third energy level can contain 18 electrons.
In a neon atom, the first energy level or orbit can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. Therefore, a neon atom would have 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 electrons in the second energy level, and 8 electrons in the third energy level, totaling 18 electrons.
The first energy level can hold 2. The second level can hold 8. The third level can hold 18. Fourth and beyond can hold 32.
The number of electrons in each energy level is determined by the formula 2n², where "n" is the principal quantum number of the energy level. For example, the first energy level (n=1) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second energy level (n=2) can hold a maximum of 8 electrons, and so on.
The fourth energy level can hold up to thirty-two (32) electrons.
