depends on the element
A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons. A neutral atom with 14 electrons will therefore have 14 protons, as the negative electrons balance the positive protons. In an ion (atom with a charge), the number of electrons does not match the number of electrons.
there are two electrons the first shell hold
Oxygen has 8 electrons (assuming its charge is 0), and in the first shell ("closest" to the nucleus) there are 2 electrons. :)
In an oxygen atom with 2 electron shells and 6 covalent bonds, there are 8 electrons in total. The first electron shell can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold up to 6 electrons, giving a total of 8 electrons in the atom.
Neon atom number 10: first shell (K) : 2 electrons second shell (L): 8 electrons all shells being filled up completely
Protons won't be found in an electron shell. They are concentrated in the nucleus.
The protons are in the nucleus. It's the electrons that are in the "shells" around the nucleus. There's just one electron in the third shell of the sodium atom.
firstly the protons are in the nucleus of an atom. there are 16 protons there. the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. the electron arrangement is as follows: first shell-2 electrons second shell - 8 electrons third shell - 6 electrons this can also be written as 2,8,6
An atom with 7 protons, 8 neutrons, and 7 electrons is nitrogen (N). Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7, meaning it has 7 electrons arranged in two energy levels: 2 electrons in the first shell and 5 electrons in the second shell. Therefore, there are 5 electrons in its valence shell.
2 in the first shell .every shell after that can have a maximum of 8.
A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons. A neutral atom with 14 electrons will therefore have 14 protons, as the negative electrons balance the positive protons. In an ion (atom with a charge), the number of electrons does not match the number of electrons.

There are 18 protons in an Aragon atom.
In an oxygen atom with 2 electron shells and 6 covalent bonds, there are 8 electrons in total. The first electron shell can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold up to 6 electrons, giving a total of 8 electrons in the atom.
Atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So, in your example, the number of electrons in this atom is 14. The first energy shell can take 2 electrons, the second energy shell can take 8 electrons, and the third energy shell can take 18 electrons. If there are 14 total electrons, 10 would be found in the first two energy shells, leaving 4 for the third energy shell.
