What is the name of the atom that has 2 electrons in its first shell and 8 in its second shell?
If this atom is a neutral atom, then the element is neon, an inert or noble gas from Group 18 on the Periodic Table of elements.
What else can I help you with?
How many electrons does a fluorine atom have in its second shell?
A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in total. In its second shell, fluorine will have a maximum of 8 electrons, but since it has 7 electrons already in the first shell, it will only have 1 electron in the second shell.
How many electrons can the second shell of an atom hold?
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
An atom that has 3 electrons in its second shell and a filled first shell will?
be stable because the first shell is filled with electrons, providing it with a stable configuration. The second shell having 3 electrons will also fulfill the octet rule, making the atom more stable.
How many electrons are there in a first shell of a neutral neon atom?
Neon atom number 10: first shell (K) : 2 electrons second shell (L): 8 electrons all shells being filled up completely
How many electrons are in each of the first two shells if an atom contains eight electrons?
The first shell can have 2 electrons, the second shell has 8 electrons and the third shell has 8 electron also. No matter what, electron fill up the first shell and then move into the next shell and then the next one. To answer the question, the first shell would have 2 electron and then the second shell would have six.
How many electrons does a fluorine atom have in its second shell?
A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in total. In its second shell, fluorine will have a maximum of 8 electrons, but since it has 7 electrons already in the first shell, it will only have 1 electron in the second shell.
How many electrons can the second shell of an atom hold?
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
In what shell do valence electrons locate in?
Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
An atom that has 3 electrons in its second shell and a filled first shell will?
be stable because the first shell is filled with electrons, providing it with a stable configuration. The second shell having 3 electrons will also fulfill the octet rule, making the atom more stable.
Which atom contains eight electrons?
Oxygen. Two of the electrons are in the first shell. The other six of them are in the second shell.

What is the Electron shell arrangement of a Silicon Atom?
what is the arrangement of electrons in an atom of a silicon
In a Bohr-Rutherford diagram of a silicon atom how many electrons fill each electron shell?
well the first shell can only contain 2 electrons then in the second shell and up you can have up to eight that is how it goes
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the second shell of an atom?
The second shell can hold eight electrons.
How many paired electrons are paired in an atom of boron?
An atom of boron has 3 paired electrons. Boron has 5 electrons in its neutral state, with 2 electrons in the first shell and 3 paired electrons in the second shell.
How many electrons can go in the first second and third shell of an atom?
The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 while the third shell can also hold a maximum of 8.
