Eight electrons fit in the second shell.
Germanium, which has 32 electrons and protons, has 4 energy levels or electron shells. There are 2 electrons in the 1st shell, 8 in the 2nd shell, 18 in the 3rd shell and 4 in the 4th shell.
I think the answer for the 2nd principle energy level is 8 electrons
Up to 2 in the first shell Then 8 in the 2nd And 8 in the 3rd
we know that 1st shell contain 2 electrons 2nd shell 8 electrons but third shell have to contains 18 electrons but the maximum no. of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8 electrons...... by yhell
1st shell: 2 electrons, 2nd shell: 8 electrons, 3rd shell: 8 electrons, 4th shell: 4 electrons, 5th shell: 0 electrons, 6th shell: 0 electrons.

No, its two electrons in the first, 8 electrons in the 2nd and 3rd shell if its stable

Their outermost electrons are in the same shell. For example, Helium and Hydrogen have 1 and 2 electrons respectively, and these electrons exist within the first electron shell. Lithium has 3 electrons and the third of these electrons is in the second electron shell, and so, it is a member of the 2nd period of the periodic table.
Eight electrons in the 2nd shell of Br- This is also the number of electrons in the 2nd shell of I-, Cl- and even F- !
1st shell: 2 electrons, 2nd shell: 8 electrons, 3rd shell: 8 electrons, 4th shell: 4 electrons, 5th shell: 0 electrons, 6th shell: 0 electrons.
6 orbital shells. Inner orbital shell (1st shell) containing 2 electrons. Next shell (2nd shell) containing 18, next containing
Sodium has ONE valence electron in its outer shell that is to be donated to any kind of oxidant. By then the outer (3rd) shell (of the Na+ ion) is EMPTY, so the 2nd shell has become the outmost, containing 8 electrons (Ne-configuration). No electrons at all are taken up by sodium.
the first shell of electrons has only 2 spaces in it before it is full whereas the 2nd shell has 8 electrons in it to be full.
The electron configuration of silicon is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2. You can represent this in shorthand notation by writing [Ne] 3s2 3p2, which indicates that silicon's configuration is the same as neon's configuration followed by the outermost electron sublevels of 3s2 3p2.
