1, because it will make the atom become unstable.
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.
32 electrons is the maximum number that can simultaneously maintain the fourth energy level in an atom's electron shell. The equation used to find this number is: 2 x n2 in which "n" is the energy level being referred too. To find the maximum electron count for the fourth energy level we insert the number four in for "n" then solve: 2 x (4)2 = 32 electrons
The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.
the electrons
An ion.If the atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, a cation.If the atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, an anion.

The second electron shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
Donor atom should donate the electrons to get into a stable state... and sometimes to form an ionic compound..
Ionic molecules donate electrons.
donate the electrons forming a cation.
Sodium is a metal element. There are 11 electrons in a single atom.
The third level of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
The 3rd energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
The first energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The electrons are equal to the amount of protons in that neutral atom.
A potassium atom has 1 electron in its outer shell. In order to satisfy the octet rule, it needs to donate 7 electrons to another atom to reach a stable configuration with a full outer shell.
