How many electrons can fit in the third shell of an atom?

The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell up to 8 electrons, and the third shell up to 18 electrons based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the shell number.


What is the number of electrons that fit in an atom's third energy level?

8


How many electrons can fit in the first four energy levels?

The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, the third energy level can hold up to 18 electrons, and the fourth energy level can hold up to 32 electrons.

What is the maximum number of electrons in each of the first three energy levels for the first 20 elements?

The number of electrons that can fit into a particular energy level is 2n^2 (2 times n squared) where the energy level is n. So, for: energy level 1 we have 2 x (1x1) = 2, for energy level 2 we have 2 x (2x2) = 8, for energy level 3 we have 2 x (3x3) = 18. So, 2+8+18= 28 max. electrons in the first 3 energy levels.


What you sthe maximum number of electrons that fit in the third energy level?

How many time could the Moon's diameter fit in its orbit?

180


How many electrons fit 1st energy level?

The inner electron shell (also known as the s shell) can hold only two electrons. There are only two elements, hydrogen and helium, whose electrons all fit into the first shell.


How many electrons are in the third energy level of helium?

Oh, dude, helium only has two electrons total, so there can't be any in the third energy level. It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole - just not gonna happen. So, zero electrons in the third energy level of helium.


How are atomic number and mass number alike?

The Atom will try to acquire electrons to fit it's needs. When it acquires electrons the amount in the orbit will either (if your lucky) perfectly meet the electron orbit needs. Mostly it will be uneven (one extra). The atom will try to get rid of that/those extra electrons by bonding with a different atom that meets it's needs. This is why many atoms readily bond with others. Hope this was helpful.
