What is the outside shell of an atom?

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

In what shell do valence electrons locate in?

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.

two


How many protons are on the first shell of an atom?

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.
