1st shell=2 2nd shell=8 3rd shell=18 4th shell=32 5th shell=32 6th shell=18 7th shell=8
According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.
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.
P stands for Principal shell and it can hold 6 electrons.
Maximum number of possible electrons in each shell: K - 2 L - 8 M - 8 N - 18
Each inner energy level of an atom can hold a maximum number of electrons. Electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom in shells. Each shell has a set maximum number of electrons it can hold, and the shell has to be completely filled before electrons can start filling up the next shell.
The maximum number of electrons that can be present in each shell or subshell is determined by the formula 2n2, where n is the principal quantum number of the shell or subshell.
According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.
The penultimate shell can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons. This is based on the maximum number of electrons that can occupy each subshell within the penultimate shell (s = 2 electrons, p = 6 electrons).
2 in the first shell .every shell after that can have a maximum of 8.
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.
A nucleus can have up to seven shells and the maximum each shell can hold is 2N^2. The maximum number of electrons found in any shell of known elements is 32.
Yes. The shells of an atom have different limits for how many electrons they can hold depending on the size of the shell. For example, the limit of the first shell is just two electrons, but the bigger second shell can hold eight electrons.
The maximum number of electrons in each shell is determined by the formula 2n^2, where n is the shell number. Each period in the periodic table corresponds to the shell number, so the number of elements in each period corresponds to the maximum number of electrons that can occupy that shell.
P stands for Principal shell and it can hold 6 electrons.
the answer is 6
Maximum number of possible electrons in each shell: K - 2 L - 8 M - 8 N - 18
