How many electrons can the inner shell of an atom contain?
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
How many electrons can be found in the 1st shell?
No more than 2.
How many electrons are there in 3 shells of O?
There are 8 electrons. 2 in the 1st shell and 6 in the 2nd.
If M-shell can occupy 18 electrons but in potassium there are 8 electrons in M -shell why?
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
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.

The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
How many electrons can be found in the 1st shell?
No more than 2.

How would you draw the electron configuration of silicon?
1st shell - 2 electrons 2nd shell - 8 electrons 3rd shell - 4 electrons
What is the maximum number of electrons in the first shell?
2 electrons are found in the first electron shell.
What is the numbers of electrons in each shell?
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.

What is the maximum number of electrons in the whole shell?
1st Shell: 2 2nd Shell: 8 3rd Shell: 8
What is the number of electrons that can be found in the 1st shell of neon?
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.
How many electrons does nitrogen have in its first electron 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
How many outer shell electrons does an oxygen atom have before sharing?
itcarries 8 electrons and 8 protonsand its valency is 2.
