First shell contains atmost two electrons. The formula is 2n. where n is the no. of shell u want to calculate its capacity of no of electrons..thanku
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
A shell of an atom is meant to contain or hold an electron floating around the nucleus. They don't actually cover the whole atom. They're rings made of the electrons that float in orbit around the atom.but the answer is electron paths
sulfur atom
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2; two electrons on the first (and the single) electron shell.
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.
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
well the first shell can only contain 2 electrons then in the second shell and up you can have up to eight that is how it goes

Oxygen has 8 electrons (assuming its charge is 0), and in the first shell ("closest" to the nucleus) there are 2 electrons. :)
there are two electrons the first shell hold
Two electrons.
Neon atom number 10: first shell (K) : 2 electrons second shell (L): 8 electrons all shells being filled up completely
The second shell in an atom contains 4 orbitals and can hold up to 8 electrons.
Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.

The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Since the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, there can be a maximum of 2 protons in the first shell.
