How many electrons does iron have in each shell?

Answer 1

A neutral isotope of iron has 26 electrons. Iron has 4 energy levels as follows: * The first level holds 2 * The second level holds 8 * The third level holds 14 * The fourth level holds 2 So iron has 2 valence electrons. The Bohr diagram is shown below:

Answer 2

there are 4 shells in all. 2 in the first one, 8 in the second, 14 in the third, and 2 in the fourth.

Answer 3

The iron atom has for shells in the electron cloud. There are 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second, 14 in the third, and 2 in the outer shell.

Answer 4

the answer is 3 according to most other websites

Answer 5

according to most other websites the answer is 3

Answer 6

In iron, the electron configuration is [Ar] 3d6 4s2. This means that iron has 2 electrons in its outermost shell (4s) and 6 electrons in the second-to-outermost shell (3d).
