2 can fit in the first energy level, 8 can fit in the second, and there is an infinite number that can fit in the 3rd.

How many electrons are in each circle?
If you mean energy levels then the first level has 2 electrons, and the other levels contain 8 electrons for each level
How many electrons are in the first five energy levels?
A maximum of 110. But for any given element, each energy level is not necessarily filled completely before moving on to the next one, so you have to look up the electron configuration for each one to be sure how many electrons it has in each of its shells.
How many electrons does k have in each energy level?
K (potassium) has 2 electrons the the 1st energy level, 8 each in the 2nd and 3rd, and 1 electron in the 4th.
Number of energy level electrons copper has?
2, 8, 18, 1 electrons in each energy level with a total of 4 energy levels.
What do you notice about the energy levels in an atom of an element and the period the element is in?
the period number tells which is the highest energy level occupied by the electrons
Who discovered that electrons move in specific levels or shells?
Neil Bohr discovered that each electron shell has specified energy levels and limited place for electrons.
What is an atom's electron configuration?
The arrangement of electrons in an atom.
What is the set of numbers that shows the arrangement of electrons in their shells?
The set of numbers that shows the arrangement of electrons in their shells is known as the electron configuration. It is based on the principle that electrons fill the lowest energy levels first before moving to higher energy levels. The electron configuration is typically represented by a series of numbers and letters indicating the number of electrons in each energy level and orbital.
Why do electrons jump when heated?
electrons jump energy levels becouse each level has a specific amount of energy needed inorder to be in that level. when an electron gets enough energy it jumps to the next level it can possible be in with that amount of energy.
Do electrons occupy space around the nucleus in an atom?
Electrons move in definite regions called electron clouds or energy levels. Electron clouds do in fact contain energy levels, it is a common misconception. It is just that there are many levels each holding 2 electrons which are very many close in energy. the cloud idea was a very early model of metals, bands wre recognised nearly 100 years ago.
How do energy levels of electrons compare?
Each electron orbit has a definite amount of energy, and the farther away the electron is from the nucleus, the greater is the energy level. The first level can hold two electrons, the second can hold up to eight, the third can hold up to eight as well, etc... ^.^
How are electrons involved in producing a flame colour?
These colors are generated by excited electrons relaxing back to lower energy levels. Each element has unique energy levels permitted to electrons by quantum mechanics. As an electron drops to a lower level a photon is emitted, carrying away the difference in energy and the higher the energy the shorter its wavelength.
What is the electron configuration of an element?
The electron configuration of an element shows the number of electrons in their energy levels and orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of a neutral magnesium atom, Mg, with 12 electrons, is 1s22s22p63s2. This means that there are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level, two electrons in the s orbital and six electrons in the p orbital of the second energy level, and two electrons in the s orbital of the third energy level. The number in front of each letter represents the energy level, the letter represents the orbital, and the superscripts represent the number of electrons in the orbital.
How many electrons are in each circle?
If you mean energy levels then the first level has 2 electrons, and the other levels contain 8 electrons for each level
What is the term that defines the areas of electron density around a nucleus?
The term that defines the areas of electron density around a nucleus is the electron cloud or electron shell. These shells represent different energy levels or orbitals where electrons can be found. Each shell can hold a specific number of electrons.
How many electrons are in the first five energy levels?
A maximum of 110. But for any given element, each energy level is not necessarily filled completely before moving on to the next one, so you have to look up the electron configuration for each one to be sure how many electrons it has in each of its shells.
What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?
The question is: What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?This question may seem hard and/or confusing, but it's really not. You just have to think about it for a minute. This question was in my science quiz online. I had to take LOTS of notes, and guess what?, the answer was right there in my notes..The notes that I took for this question had the topic:Electrons in an ElementMy notes were:-Electrons occupy the electron cloud.-Each electron occupies an energy state.-Electrons farther from the nucleus occupy a higher energy state.-The electron cloud is divided into energy levels.-Each energy level can hold a certain number of electrons-Valence Electrons are usually found in the highest energy level.Not very much notes, but lots of information, and most of them are about energy, and one is about Valence electrons. So, let's figure this.If a valence electron usually have the highest energy level, then a nonvalence electron must not have any energy levels. So, what you would have to add to the nonvalence electron is add energy to become a valence electron.Our question is: What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?So the answer to our question is: Energy. Energy can be added.
