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.
There are 4 shells in 20 electrons: 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second, 8 in the third, and 2 in the fourth shell.
Electrons are arranged in a series of shells or orbitals that contain a specific number of electrons there are 4 types of shell which contain a different number of electrons. Electrons tend to be found in Paris spinning in opposite directions, but this is not always the case and is dependant on the number of electrons in the outer shell. all shells below the outer one will be full
No! Atoms with more than 4 electrons gain electrons during bonding. Atoms with less than 4 electrons tend to lose electrons during bonding. Hope this helps!
Four atoms with 1 electron in their outermost shells will bond with one atom that has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. This results in the formation of a stable compound with each atom achieving a full outer shell of electrons through sharing or transferring of electrons.
Atoms with fewer than 4 outer electrons tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration rather than lend them. This results in the formation of positively charged ions. Atoms with 4 or more outer electrons tend to gain electrons to fill their outer electron shells and form negatively charged ions.
iron has 4 shells because there are 30 electrons.
Oxygen atoms contain exactly two unpaired electrons. This is because oxygen has 6 total electrons, with 2 in the first energy level and 4 in the second. Two of the electrons in the second energy level are unpaired.
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.
Carbon. Carbon is in the second period, so it has electrons in its second energy level, and it is in the fourth group in the second energy level, so it has 4 electrons.
There are 4 shells in 20 electrons: 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second, 8 in the third, and 2 in the fourth shell.

Nickel has 3 (three) electron shells.
Four atoms with 1 electron in their outermost shells will bond with one atom that has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. This results in the formation of a stable compound with each atom achieving a full outer shell of electrons through sharing or transferring of electrons.
Carbon and Silicon both have four valence electrons as well as other group four elements.
The table was organized so that elements of similar properties are in the same group. What (partly) determines reactivity is the number of electrons an atom has in it's ground state. . Within the atom electrons are organized in shells. Atoms are stable when they have 8 electrons in their outer shell (for hydrogen and helium it is 2 electrons.) . Elements of: Group 18 have 8 electrons in their outer shells Group 17 have 7 electrons in their outer shells Group 16 have 6 electrons in their outer shells Group 15 have 5 electrons in their outer shells Group 14 have 4 electrons in their outer shells Group 13 have 3 electrons in their outer shells Groups 3-12 have varied number of electrons in their outer shells Group 2 have 2 electrons in their outer shells Group 1 have 1 electron in their outer shells
