∙ 13y agoAs the energy levels get further away from the nucleus, they have higher energies. So, the second energy level is the correct answer.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThere are 6 electrons in the second energy level of oxygen. These 6 electrons are also called the valence electrons because they are on the outermost shell of oxygen.
Wiki User

the energy of an electron enough, and eventually it breaks free of the atom completely.

Which electrons in oxygen have more energy those in the first level or those in the second?
More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.
How many electrons does oxygen have in it's first energy levels?
In the very first shell it has 2 and then it has 6 (in the second shell). =)
What is the numbers of electron in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom?
An oxygen atom has eight electrons. The first electron shell can contain two electrons so that shell is filled leaving six electrons left. Since the second electron shell can contain up to eight electrons, the remaining six electrons go into the second shell. Since the second shell is the outermost shell, there are six electron's in the outer energy level.
How many energy levels are in the oxygen atom?
each atom wants a full 8 of valance electrons it goes 2-8-8 oxygen as a neutral atom has has 8 electrons so oxygen has it like this 2-6 because that's all the electrons that's all the electrons it has.
How many electrons are in the first shell of a oxygen atom?
The electron configuration of an oxygen atom is (2, 6). Meaning it has 2 electrons in its first shell and 6 in its second.The energy levels of atoms are limited to how many electrons they can hold.The first energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons the second has a maximum of 8 and the third has a maximum of 18 etc.Hope this Helps!

How many electrons are in the first and second shell of oxygen?
2 in the first 8 in the second etc...
How many electrons go in the first shell of oxygen?
In the first shell there are two electrons and in the second shell there are six electrons, but only the electrons in the second (outer) shell are valence electrons.
What if Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. The n 1 energy level has two electrons and the n 2 energy level has six electrons. Oxygen's valence is .?
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons as its electronic configuration is 2, 6.
How many valence electrons are on the first 3 energy levels?
The first energy level has a maximum of two valence electrons. The second and third energy levels have a maximum of 8 valence electrons.
How many electrons are in the second energy level of magnesium?
There are six electrons are in the second energy level of magneisum. A further two are on the first energy level and the last two are on the third energy level.
How many electrons are in the second level of sodium?
There are 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 in the second, and 1 in the third.
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.
