There are typically four emergency levels in the context of atomic structure: the ground state and three excited states. Electrons can occupy various energy levels, with each level being able to hold a specific maximum number of electrons determined by the formula (2n^2), where (n) is the principal quantum number. For example, the first level (n=1) can hold 2 electrons, the second level (n=2) can hold 8 electrons, and the third level (n=3) can hold 18 electrons.
An atom of magnesium has 3 energy levels - the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third can hold up to 18 electrons.
Calcium (Ca) has 4 energy levels, corresponding to its electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s². The first energy level can hold 2 electrons, the second can hold 8, the third can hold 18, and the fourth can hold 2 in the case of calcium. Therefore, the distribution of electrons in these levels defines the four distinct energy levels for calcium.
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.
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.
The 4s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

An atom of magnesium has 3 energy levels - the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third can hold up to 18 electrons.
The atom will have 3 energy levels. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third level can hold the remaining electron.
Carbon has 2 energy levels. There are 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 6 neutrons.

it is in the second period. so boron has 2 energy levels
The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, the third energy level can hold up to 18 electrons, and the fourth energy level can hold up to 32 electrons.
Each circle in an electron configuration diagram represents an energy level or shell where electrons can be found. The first circle can hold up to 2 electrons, the second circle can hold up to 8 electrons, the third circle can hold up to 18 electrons, and so on.
Sodium-23 has three electron levels: the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, so sodium-23 has 11 protons and 11 electrons in a neutral state.
An atom of oxygen has 2 energy levels that are occupied - the first energy level (K shell) can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second energy level (L shell) can hold up to 6 electrons. Oxygen has a total of 8 electrons.
A calcium atom has 4 energy levels. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second can hold up to 8 electrons, the third up to 8 electrons, and the fourth up to 2 electrons based on the electronic configuration of calcium, which is 2-8-8-2.
