How many electrons does it take to fill the 1st 2nd and 3rd energy levels?

The 1st energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the 2nd energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the 3rd energy level can hold up to 18 electrons.


How many electrons can be held in the second energy level of atoms and how can this be determined?

first energy level contains only S shell that can accomadate 2 electrons where as 2nd energy level contains S shell and P shell as well which can accomadate 2 and 6(3X2) electrons respectively..so the answer is 8 for 2nd energy level. (or) No.of electrons in any main energy level = 2n2 Here n = orbit (or energy level) number In our question , n = 2 No.of electrons in 2nd energy level = 2(2)2 = 8


What energy level are the valence electrons located in lithium?

2nd energy level, the electron arrangement is 2,1 at ground state


Can you draw a bohr model for fluorine?

Fluorine has 9 electrons. The first energy level holds 2 electrons, and the second energy level holds 7 electrons. The Bohr model for fluorine would show 2 electrons in the first energy level and 7 electrons in the second energy level.


How many electrons does it neeed to gain to have a full outer shell?

1st energy level- 2 electrons 2nd energy level- 8 electrons 3rd energy level- 18 electrons To calculate the number of electrons other energy levels can hold, use the formula 2n^2. For example, to calculate the number of electrons the fourth level can hold, the equation would be 2(4)^2. This means that the fourth energy can hold 32 electrons. Same process for other levels.

2+ oxidation number in the 2nd energy level?

The answer to this question is that the oxidation number for the 2nd energy level is +2. This is because the 2nd energy level is the second highest energy level in an atom, and thus has a higher oxidation number than the 1st energy level. The oxidation number for the 2nd energy level is determined by the number of electrons in the 2nd energy level.

How many electrons occupy the outermost energy level of an atom?

The answer to this depends on the energy level under consideration.In general, the maximum number of electrons occupied in one energy level is given by 2n2where n is the number of energy level. Thus 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th energy levels can occupy a maximum of 2, 8, 18 and 32 electrons
