How many electron shells does germanium have?
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.
How many electrons are in the first electron shell?
Up to 2 in the first shell Then 8 in the 2nd And 8 in the 3rd
Defien electron arrangement?
1st electron shell can hold 2 electrons;2nd electron shell can hold 8 electrons;3rd electron shell can hold 18 electrons;4th electron shell can hold 32 electrons.
How many electrons are there in 3 shells of O?
There are 8 electrons. 2 in the 1st shell and 6 in the 2nd.
Which electron shell determines the chemical properties of an atom?
"Activity" as used in the question has no precise meaning, but I take it to mean reactivity. In VERY simple terms - Electrons can only have precise energies, those energies correspond to certain distances (orbitals or shells), from the nucleus. More than that, electrons are paired in each orbital so far as is possible. Both the energy of the electrons and whether they are paired determine how likely any atom is to form any particular type of bond, and also how many bonds, as bonding involves the gaining, loosing or sharing of electrons from the outer-most shell.
How many electron shells does germanium have?
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.
How would you draw the electron configuration of silicon?
1st shell - 2 electrons 2nd shell - 8 electrons 3rd shell - 4 electrons
2 Electron in firsat shell 8 electrons in second shell and 6 electrons in third shell?
No, its two electrons in the first, 8 electrons in the 2nd and 3rd shell if its stable
How many electrons are in the first electron shell?
Up to 2 in the first shell Then 8 in the 2nd And 8 in the 3rd
What do atoms in the same period have?
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.
How many electrons are in the second shell of ion Br -1?
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- !
Defien electron arrangement?
1st electron shell can hold 2 electrons;2nd electron shell can hold 8 electrons;3rd electron shell can hold 18 electrons;4th electron shell can hold 32 electrons.
How many valence electrons are needed to fill sodiums outer shell?
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.
How many electrons are located in the first two shell?
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.
What is the normal electron pattern?
if you mean electron configuration. Then there are two ways you can look at this. Usually if you are a young student then all you're expected to know is that: the 1st shell = 2 electrons and 8 electrons on every shell after the first one. However, the actual configuration is 1st shell = 2 2nd shell = 8 3rd shell = 18 4th shell = 32 and so on...
How many outer shell electrons does an oxygen atom have before sharing?
itcarries 8 electrons and 8 protonsand its valency is 2.
How many possible electrons are found in the second shell?
8 electrons can be accommodated in the 2nd shell (aka 2nd energy level). 2 in the 2s orbital and 6 in the 2p orbitals.
