no only 2 in the first shell, 8 in every other shell
Atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So, in your example, the number of electrons in this atom is 14. The first energy shell can take 2 electrons, the second energy shell can take 8 electrons, and the third energy shell can take 18 electrons. If there are 14 total electrons, 10 would be found in the first two energy shells, leaving 4 for the third energy shell.
The outer shell number for beryllium is 2. Beryllium has 4 electrons, so in its electron configuration, 2 electrons are in the first energy level and 2 electrons are in the second energy level, making the outer shell number 2.
There are 4 shells in 20 electrons: 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second, 8 in the third, and 2 in the fourth shell.
No, Helium has 2 electrons in total, both of which occupy the first electron shell. The first electron shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, so Helium's electron configuration is 2.
The element with 4 valence electrons in the 6th shell is lead (Pb). Lead has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, which is the 6th electron shell.
In a neutral carbon atom, there will be 4 electrons in the outer most valence shell.

Beryllium like every other element excluding hydrogen has 2 electrons in its first shell.
14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.
Lead has 4 electrons in its outermost shell.
16 electrons would fill up the first four shells in an atom: 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in the second shell, 4 electrons in the third shell, and 2 electrons in the fourth shell.
Carbon has two electrons in its inner shell and four in its outer shell.
There are 4 shells in 20 electrons: 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second, 8 in the third, and 2 in the fourth shell.
Silicon is the group 4, period 3 metalloid. It's electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2. Thus it has 2 electrons in its first shell, 8 in its second, and 4 in its third.
what is the arrangement of electrons in an atom of a silicon
Silicon has 14 electrons. There are four electrons that orbit the nucleus in the outermost, or "valence," energy level, which are given to, accepted from, or shared with other atoms.
