2 electrons are found in the first electron shell.
The maximum number of electrons in a shell of an atom can be calculated using the formula 2n^2, where n represents the shell number (starting with 1 for the first shell, 2 for the second shell, and so on). For example, the maximum number of electrons in the first shell would be 2(1)^2 = 2, and in the second shell it would be 2(2)^2 = 8.
A nucleus can have up to seven shells and the maximum each shell can hold is 2N^2. The maximum number of electrons found in any shell of known elements is 32.
There are 3 shells total in the atom of Chlorine. The first shell has 2 electrons because the first shell of any atom can only hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons because the second shell of any atom can only hold 8 electrons maximum. The third shell holds 7 electrons in the Chlorine atom, but the third shell of any atom can hold up to 18 electrons as a maximum.
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.
the number of electons found in each shell can be found by 2 n squared 1 shell would have 2 electrons
First orbital can be occupied by a total of 2 electrons and the second orbital can be occupied by a total of 8 electrons. 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 ( what element is this ? )
The least number of electrons needed in a shell is 2, as the first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
8 (just in the second shell) but if you're counting all of the electrons, including the first shell, then there are 10 electrons all together. Eight Electrons are the maximum.
The number of electrons in a shell is 2n2, where n=shell number. So for the first shell, there is a maximum of 2 electrons.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Since the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, there can be a maximum of 2 protons in the first shell.
Maximum number of electrons = 2n2, where n is the number of shell (n = 1 for K, 2 for L, 3 for M, and so on) K shell has 2 electrons maximum L shell has 8 electrons maximum M shell has 18 electrons maximum N shell has 32 electrons maximum O shell has 50 electrons maximum P shell has 72 electrons maximum
Two electrons can fit in the first shell
Second shell has a maximum of 8 electrons.
there are two electrons the first shell hold
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Since sodium has an atomic number of 11, the first shell will be filled with 2 electrons, and the remaining 9 electrons will go into the second shell.
According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.
