There are two shells in period 2 (that's why it's named like that)
The first can hold (max.) 2 electrons (1s2), the second holds 2+6 = 8 electrons (2s2 and 2p6) at maximum.

How many many electron shells the element iodine have?
see what period it is in on the periodic table it is in period 6, so therefore there are 6 electron shells or energy levels
Potassium has how many electron shells?
Four shells, as potassium is in fourth period
Are the elements in each period alike in properties?
Yes. The elements in a period in a periodic table are categorised by how many outershells are surrounding the neutron and proton nucleus. They are alike in properties because the amount of electrons relates directly to how many outer shells the element has, for exampe Magnesium will have 3 outer shells because it has 12 electrons (2, 8, 2). The more shells an element has, the stronger the formation is and the higher the melting and boiling point will be. Therefore elements in the same period will have similar melting and boiling points.
How many electrons shells does livermorium have?
7. It is in period 7, at the bottom of the periodic table.
How many electron shells does polonium have?
2
How do the periods on the periodic table get their numbers?
if an element has 1 shell in its atom it is in period 1and so on... 2 shells=period 2 3 shells=period 3 4 shells=period 4 5 shells=period 5 6 shells=period 6 7 shells=period 7
What is special about a period on the periodic table?
all elements in a period all have the same amount of shells example: all elements in period 1 has only 1 shell all elements in period 2 has 2 shells so the period number is the same as the number of shells in that period
How many orbital shells do boron have?
Boron has 2 shells altogether. 2 electrons on the first one and the remaining three on the second. Altogether boron (B) has 5 electrons.
How many electron shells does phosphours have?
Phosphorus in is 3rd period. So it has 3 electron shells.
How many many electron shells the element iodine have?
see what period it is in on the periodic table it is in period 6, so therefore there are 6 electron shells or energy levels
Carbon position in modern periodic table?
it is in group, 4 and in period 2 group means how many electrons in outer shell, and period means how many electron shells it has:)
Does oxygen or sulfur have more electron shells?
Oxygen is on period 2 whereas sulfur is on period 3. Therefore, sulfur has more electron shells than oxygen.
How many electron shells do noble gases have?
The number of electron shells depends on the noble gas. The number of shells will be equal to the period in which the noble gas is present.
Potassium has how many electron shells?
Four shells, as potassium is in fourth period
How many outer shell electrons does calcium have?
The calcium atom has 2 outer shell electrons. It's configuration is: [Ar] 4s2 it also has 2 inner shell electrons

They are alike in properties because the amount of electrons relates directly to how many outer shells the element has, for exampe Magnesium will have 3 outer shells because it has 12 electrons (2, 8, 2). The more shells an element has, the stronger the formation is and the higher the melting and boiling point will be. Therefore elements in the same period will have similar melting and boiling points.
How many electron shells does a sodium atom have?
A Sodium atom has three shells. For future reference, this can be discovered later by looking at which period an element falls in. For example, all group 1 elements have 1 shell, all group 2 elements have two shells, and so on.
