The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
The innermost shell of any atom bigger than hydrogen (H) will contain 2 electrons.
In a sodium atom, there are 2 electrons in the innermost shell. The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Sodium has an electron configuration of 2-8-1, so the inner shell contains 2 electrons.
A selenium atom has 36 inner shell electrons. This includes electrons in the first (2 electrons) and second (8 electrons) energy levels, as well as 18 electrons in the third energy level.
A neutral neon atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.
The second shell in an atom contains 4 orbitals and can hold up to 8 electrons.

there are 2 electrons in the inner shell of a hydrogen atom.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.

In an Oxygen Atom there are two rings on which the Electrons orbit around the Nucleus, there is the inner ring and the outer ring. The inner ring closest to the Nucleus contains two Electrons and on the outer ring there are six Electrons making a total of eight Electrons, which is equal to the amount of Neutrons and Protons in the Nucleus (8 Neutrons, 8 Protons). This should answer the Question.
An electron in an atom's outer shell is shielded from the nucleus by inner-shell electrons. These inner-shell electrons repel the outer electron, reducing the net attractive force from the nucleus. This shielding effect helps explain why outer-shell electrons are more loosely bound and easier to remove during chemical reactions.
There are 3 shells total in the atom of Chlorine. The first shell has 2 electrons because the first shell of any atom can only hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons because the second shell of any atom can only hold 8 electrons maximum. The third shell holds 7 electrons in the Chlorine atom, but the third shell of any atom can hold up to 18 electrons as a maximum.
A neutral neon atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.
First shell contains atmost two electrons. The formula is 2n. where n is the no. of shell u want to calculate its capacity of no of electrons..thanku
