8 electrons. Can be found from the formula 2n2. Where n=the number of the energy level. The number of electrons in the second shell is very important to remember however, because it provides for the octet rule of bonding that almost all elements conform to. Elements wish to have 8 electrons in their outer shell, making the Noble Gases unreactive, and providing for the charges, or oxidation states, of all elements that determine how they bond. Davey.

What is the total number of electrons needed to completely fill all of the orbitals in an atoms second principal energy level?
8 electrons
What is an element whose atoms contain 4 electrons in the second energy level?
Carbon. Carbon is in the second period, so it has electrons in its second energy level, and it is in the fourth group in the second energy level, so it has 4 electrons.
What do atoms do when electrons move energy levels?
Atoms don't do anything. If the electrons go to a higher energy state, they use energy. If they fall back to a lower state, they release energy. This shouldn't affect the entire atom, just the electrons.
are chemical bond energy relationship between outer electrons and neighboring atoms?
A chemical bond is an energy relationship between outer electrons and neighboring atoms.
How many electrons can an atoms 4th energy level hold?
32 electrons maximum
An atoms second energy level can hold up to how many electrons?
Maximum of 8 electrons in second energy level.
How many d electrons can a second energy level hold?
The second energy level of atoms can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
How many electrons does calcium have in the second energy level?
Calcium atoms have 8 electrons in the second energy level. However, they are not the valence electrons. The outermost electrons in a calcium atom in the ground state are 2 4s electrons. So calcium atoms in the ground state have 2 valence electrons in the fourth energy level.
How many electrons can an atoms second energy level hold?
8

How many atoms can he second energy level hold?
2s^2 2p^6 8 electrons total
What is the maxium of numbers in a second energy level?
if you're talking about atoms, 8 electrons can sit in the second energy level. two sit in the 2s orbital and 6 in the 2p orbital.
Atoms emit energy as light when?
Atoms emit energy as light when electrons move to a lower energy level
Can atoms change energy levels?
no, electrons can
What is found in the energy levels of atoms?
electrons
Sharing of electrons in the outer energy levels of two atoms?
The sharing of electrons in the outer energy levels of two atoms is called bonding.
