How many electron shells an electron can have?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Depending on the number of electrons there can be from 1 to 7 electron shells!

Answer 3

An electron does not have "electron shells" at all; these are characteristic of atoms, not electrons. No electron can occupy more than one shell of an atom unless the atom is excited.

Answer 4

This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.

Answer 5

An electron can have a maximum of seven electron shells. The number of electron shells an atom has is determined by the period or row it belongs to on the periodic table.
