The Answer is 72.
The formula to calculate the electons for n energy level is 2n^2.
2*6^2=72
In the 3rd energy level, there can be a maximum of 4 electrons.
Sulfur has 6 electrons in its outer energy level. This means it needs 2 more electrons to fill its outer energy level, for a total of 8 electrons.
1s = 2 + 2s & p = 8 + 3s & p & d = 18 + 4s & p & d & f = 32 { close to binary } + = Total is 60 electrons.
Electrons fill the 1st energy level first because it has the lowest energy and is closest to the nucleus. Electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus and fill the energy levels in order of increasing distance from the nucleus.
Electrons of hydrogen fill up to two energy levels, while electrons of helium fill up to a total of two energy levels as well. Helium has an additional energy level compared to hydrogen because it has 2 electrons, filling up both the first and second energy level.
no. of electrons to fill an energy level = 2n2. = 2x32 = 18
In the 3rd energy level, there can be a maximum of 4 electrons.
Sulfur has 6 electrons in its outer energy level. This means it needs 2 more electrons to fill its outer energy level, for a total of 8 electrons.
They ca fill their outmost energy level by gaining or losing 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.
1s = 2 + 2s & p = 8 + 3s & p & d = 18 + 4s & p & d & f = 32 { close to binary } + = Total is 60 electrons.
The first energy level can take a maximum of two electrons.
obviously
8 electrons
Atoms can fill their outermost energy level by either gaining electrons from other atoms or by sharing the outermost electrons with another atom.
8
Electrons fill the 1st energy level first because it has the lowest energy and is closest to the nucleus. Electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus and fill the energy levels in order of increasing distance from the nucleus.
