The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is due to the quantum mechanical principles governing electron configurations, where the first shell corresponds to the 1s orbital. As you move to higher shells, they can accommodate more electrons, with the second shell holding up to 8 electrons, and so forth.
What else can I help you with?
Electrons can be found in energy levels or blank that surround the nucleus of an atom?
the blank is shell
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the first shell of an atom?
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many of atoms are in the 3rd shell of an atom with 4 shells?
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.
What atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer level?
No atom can hold 18 electrons in its outer energy shell - there is the valence rule, stating that the maximum for the outer shell is 8 electrons.
How many electrons does the first shell of a atom contain?
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 second electron shell of an atom can hold a maximum of?
The second electron shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
Electrons can be found in energy levels or blank that surround the nucleus of an atom?
the blank is shell
How many electrons can the inner shell of an atom contain?
The very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the first shell of an atom?
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
How many electrons can the K shell of an atom hold?
The K shell of an atom can hold up to 2 electrons.
How many of atoms are in the 3rd shell of an atom with 4 shells?
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.
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.
How many electrons will the first shell hold?
there are two electrons the first shell hold
How many electrons can the 3rd atom shell hold?
The third electron shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
How many inner shell electrons in chlorine?
There are 3 shells total in the atom of Chlorine. The first shell has 2 electrons because the first shell of any atom can only hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. The second shell holds 8 electrons because the second shell of any atom can only hold 8 electrons maximum. The third shell holds 7 electrons in the Chlorine atom, but the third shell of any atom can hold up to 18 electrons as a maximum.
How many electrons can an atom have in each shell?
2 in the first shell .every shell after that can have a maximum of 8.
What is the maximum amount of electrons that will fit on an outermost shell of the atom?
