In an atomic structure how many atoms are allowed in each shell?

∙ 13y ago
To determine how many electrons are in each shell (or energy level), you simply take two times the number of the shell or level squared. Two electrons are allowed in the first shell, eight in the second shell, eighteen in the third shell, thirty two in the fourth shell, fifty in the fifth shell, seventy two in the fifth shell, and so on.

What is the electronic structure of a chloride ion?
which valance shell electron configuration of neutral atoms would represent an element most likely to form a 2-ion?
Why is chlorine in period 3?
Chlorine is in period three because that is how many outer shells it has. One period is one shell... In the First outer shell you can only hold.. 2 electrons. Second outer shell can hold 10 electrons. Third outer shell can hold 18 electron. Protons + Electrons = Atomic Number Atomic Number - Atomic Mass = Number of Neutrons in Outer Shells
What is an area around an atom that can hold only a set number of electrons?

How many electrons are found in the outermost shell of aluminum A1 atomic number 13?
3
Why is chlorine diatomic?
A lone chlorine atom has 7 outer shell electrons, 1 electron short of a full outer shell of 8 electrons, which is stable. In order to achieve this full outer shell two chlorine atoms share a pair of electrons, with each atom contributing 1 electron to the pair. By sharing electrons in this manner the chlorine atoms achieve a full outer shell.
How many electrons would the atomic structure of Tin have on its outer shell?
There are four electrons found on the outer shell of a atomic structure of tin. They are in a group of four.
How can elements acquire a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to match the number of outer shell electrons of a noble gas.
What are the differences among atoms?
the crystal structure, its emission spectrum, and how many and where it's electrons are placed in the atoms shell
what is a covalent structure?
A covalent structure is when two atoms share an electron to gain a fuller outer electron shell
What is a simple covalent structure?
A covalent structure is when two atoms share an electron to gain a fuller outer electron shell
What word describes the outermost shell of the electrons?
The name most often given to the outermost shell of electrons in the context of atomic structure is the valence shell.
Why is the ring model of atomic structure useful?
It shows the electron shell and charges on the subatomic particles.
What has the author Bernd Crasemann written?
Bernd Crasemann has written: 'Atomic Inner-Shell Physics (Physics of Atoms and Molecules) (Physics of Atoms and Molecules)'
How do you work out the electronic structure of atoms?
the arrangement for the electrons are 2882 2 on the first shell 8 on the second and third and another 2 on the fourth shell
Why is gold not magnetic?
Gold is not magnetic because it does not produce a magnetic filed of it's own. Ferros metals, eg. iron, nickle and cobalt, are able to create their own magnetic field due to their atomic structures.Each molecule of an element has a specific atomic structure. This is comprised of atomic shells, which can hold a total of 8 ions in each shell. The number of ions is denoted by the element's atomic number, eg. calcium's atomic number is 20, meaning that the atomic shell structure of a calcium atom is 2 (max. on inner shell), 8, 8 (8 is max in outer shells) and finally two left over in the final outer shell.This last outer shell is the important part. The ions left available in this shell will be attracted to other shells of other elements that are not at their max ion capacity of 8. This is also true for iron atoms which have 2 in their outer shell also, causing it to be attracted to other elements and more volitile as a result.
How can atomic radius affect the interactions between two elements or atoms?
the atomic radius doesn't mean much in how an atom interacts with another. The valence shell (outer most electron orbit) dictates whether or not atoms will form compounds
Is a basket a frame structure or a shell structure?
It is a shell structure so that it can hold stuff.
