By each ring, you mean each shell or energy level.
The general formula for the maximum number of electrons in each shell or energy level is 2n2, where n stands for the number of the shell or energy level.
The maximum number of electrons are
2 (n = 1)
8 (n = 2)
18 (n = 3)
and so on.

∙ 15y agoAtoms don't have "rings"; but leaving that aside and assuming you mean "shells", it's still impossible to answer because it depends on which two shells. The number of electrons per shell increases with increasing principal quantum number (2, 8, 18, 32, 50, 72, etc.).

What do you mean by the orbitals of lower energy are filled in first with the electron and only then the orbitals of high energy are filled?
Because the electrons have a negative charge and the nucleus has a positive charge, so they attract each other. The electrons stay in the orbital closest to the nucleus unless it is full or they have enough energy to move away from the nucleus.
Each electron shell in an atom contains?
they contain electrons, which are negatively charged and revolve at high speed around the nucleus of an atom. the first shell (the one nearest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. the second shell can hold a maximun of 8 electrons. If there any remaining electrons they will go on the third shell. the third shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. the shells closest to the nucleus (inner shells) must contain their maximum number of electrons before attempting to fill the energy levels to a higher energy.
Atoms composed of what?
Atoms have three subatomic particles; viz., protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons, and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom and are collectively named as 'nucleons'. Electrons are in energy shells outside and around the nucleus. Atoms with a different number of protns and different elements.
What do you need to know to draw a Lewis structure?
You need to know how many electrons the atom has and know that the electrons always fill lower levels first and that the outer orbit shell can only hold eight electrons at the most. Example: the atom of Sodium. 4s__ 3p x__ y__ z__ 3s_1_ 2p x_11_ y_11_ Z_11_ 2s_11_ 1s_11_
How does the energy of an electron change when the elctron moves closer to the nucleus?
the electrons moving closer to the nucleus have lower energy level.why?AnswerWhen atoms absorb energy, electrons move into higher energy levels, and these electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels.It's like a sea saw, you go up, you get energy, go back down, lose it.please recommend me :D

Why nonmetals do not have free electrons which conduct electrical energy?
Because the outer shells are very close to the nucleus and the number of electrons in the outer shells are between 4-8. Therefore, they are not freed from the nucleus easily rather they look for some more electrons to fill its outer shell which is technically called as covalent bond.
What is the arrangement of an atom?
couse cookies are coolEDIT: Okay, that's pretty random and not at all helpful, try this:Atoms are made up of 3 different particles, called electrons, protons and neutrons.Electrons are very small, very light particles with a negative electrical charge, and Protons are much larger, much heavier particles with a positive electrical charge. Neutrons are large and heavy, like the protons, but have no electrical charge.Each atom is made up of a mixture of these particles. Protons and neutrons are inside the nucleus of the atom, whilst the electrons orbit around it, in clouds. The electrons are organised in layers, called orbitals. The first level is called the 1s orbital, and contains 2 electrons. The second and third levels are the 2s and 2p orbitals and each contain 2 electrons. The 4th level is the 3s orbital, then the next is 3p etc. Logically, at this point, the next orbital would be the 3d orbital, but this has a higher energy than the 4s, so the 4s fill first, then the 3d, then the pattern continues.Hope this helps,Freya x

What is the cell nucleus filled with?
Cell nucleus is fill with nucleoplasm and nucleolus.
What phrase describes the position of an electron relates to its energy?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
In what sequence do electrons fill the atomic orbitals related to a sub level?
Each orbital must contain a single electron before any orbital contains two electrons.
Does the first element in each period represent electrons starting to fill the s orbital of a new energy level?
Yes.
What are the opposite forces acting in the nucleus of an atom?
The opposite forces acting in the nucleus of an atom are the strong nuclear force and the electromagnetic force. The strong nuclear force is responsible for binding the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, while the electromagnetic force is responsible for the repulsion between the positively charged protons. These forces are balanced in order to maintain the stability of the nucleus.
