2 per (sub) orbital:
In total
2 in (the only) s orbital,
6 in (3x) p orbitals
10 in (5x) d orbitals
14 in (7x) f orbitals
18 in (9x) g orbitals
22 in (11x) h orbitals etc. etc. but the last ones are improbable to exist in 'our universe'
The number of shells varies. The row number of the element is the number of shells. They don't really have names, but they're referred to by how many levels they are away from the nucleus.
Electrons with different energy levels orbit in the different shells of the atom. The electrons located in the outer shell are called valence electrons, they have the most energy and are the ones who participate most in bonding.
A shell surrounding the nucleus of an atom containing electrons.

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is seven. These orbits are known as energy levels or electron shells, and electrons can occupy up to seven of them based on their energy level and distance from the nucleus.
seven
7 atoms
No, they are located in the shells or orbits of an atom.
If you are asking about the number of electrons then it would be 8. The first shell can hold a maximum number of 2 electrons. The second and third shell would have a maximum of 8 electrons each.
An atom with four full electron orbits is typically associated with the element Xenon (Xe), which has an atomic number of 54. In its ground state, Xenon has a complete set of electron shells (orbits) filled with electrons, including the first four energy levels. These filled shells contribute to its stability and inertness, characteristic of noble gases.
the number of electons found in each shell can be found by 2 n squared 1 shell would have 2 electrons
Protons and neutrons can be found in the centre of the atom in the nucleus. Electrons orbit round the nucleus in shells/orbits and are extremely small compared to the rest of the atom. Protons have a positive +1 charge and neutrons have no charge and are neutral. Electrons have a negative -1 charge. Protons and neutrons give the atom its mass. Each shell has a maximum number of electrons it can take. In the first shell it is 2. In all other shells (up to calcium) the maximum number is 8. An atom can gain or lose electrons, becoming what is known as an ion. An ion is nothing more than an electrically charged atom. Adding or removing electrons from an atom does not change which element it is, just its charge. The number of electrons equals the number of protons. The number of protons is the roton/atomic number. The number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the Atomic Mass from the atomic number (as the atomic mass it both the protons and neutrons combined.)
the no. of electron shells in an atom varies for every element in the periodic table, depending on its no. of electrons in the atom. the no. of shells of an atom of an element ca be derived through the period of the periodic table. elements in the 1st period has only 1 shell and so forth.
Electron shells are energy levels where electrons are found in an atom, while orbitals are regions within those shells where electrons are most likely to be located. Each shell can contain multiple orbitals, and each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins. The number of shells and orbitals in an atom depends on the element and its atomic structure.
The areas in which electrons are located in an atom are called electron shells or energy levels. These shells are designated by numbers (such as n = 1, 2, 3, etc.) and each shell can hold a specific number of electrons based on its energy level.
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. They move in specific energy levels called electron shells. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
