Two electrons can fit into the first orbital shell of any atom.
1st shell: 2 electrons, 2nd shell: 8 electrons, 3rd shell: 8 electrons, 4th shell: 4 electrons, 5th shell: 0 electrons, 6th shell: 0 electrons.
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
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
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.

The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.
2 electrons are found in the first electron shell.

1st Shell: 2 2nd Shell: 8 3rd Shell: 8
The first shell of Neon, known as the K shell, can only hold two electrons. The first shell of any chemical element can only hold two electrons.
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.
2. all atoms may onl hold up to 2 electrons in the first shell, no matter how man electrons it has in all. (with the exception of hydrogen, because of the fact that it only has 1 electron in all). Nitrogen has 7 electrons in all- 2 in the 1st shell, 5 in the second
itcarries 8 electrons and 8 protonsand its valency is 2.
The electon structure is 2,8,8. This means it can have a maximum of 2 electrons on its 1st shell, 8 on the 2nd and 8 on the 3rd :)
