no. of electrons to fill an energy level = 2n2. = 2x32 = 18
There are no noble gases in the first energy level. Noble gases are found in the last (highest) energy level of an atom. The first energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while the noble gases have completely filled outermost energy levels.
The second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Magnesium has 12 electrons, so in its second energy level, there will be 8 electrons (2 in the first energy level and 8 in the second energy level).
Fluorine needs 8 valence electrons to have a filled outer energy level, following the octet rule. Fluorine naturally has 7 valence electrons, so it only requires one more electron to achieve a stable octet configuration.
valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level
no. of electrons to fill an energy level = 2n2. = 2x32 = 18
The first energy level can take a maximum of two electrons.
The second principal energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons in total. This is because the second level consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals, which can hold 2 electrons each.
8 electrons
Sulfur has 6 electrons in its outer energy level. This means it needs 2 more electrons to fill its outer energy level, for a total of 8 electrons.
Completely filled octet.
undiscovered...yet, but there are a few...go forward 50 years and see
The fourth energy level can hold a maximum of 32 electrons. This level consists of 4 sublevels (s, p, d, f), which can hold a total of 32 electrons when completely filled according to the Aufbau principle.
More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.
The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, filling the 1s orbital. The second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons, filling the 2s and 2p orbitals.
it is called complete or completely stable
Completely filled octet.
