What is the maximum number of electrons found in the first innermost shell of an atom?

The innermost shell of an atom is the shell corresponding to the principal quantum number of 1. Because the principal quantum number is 1, the angular quantum number and the magnetic quantum number of that shell must be 0. Therefore, only 2 electrons can possibly be in the innermost shell, one with spin up and the other with spin down.

∙ 14y agoAn atom can have up to seven electron shells. Chemists refer to these shells as n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Only in atoms with very high atomic numbers do we find n = 6 and n = 7. Each shell can have only a limited number of electrons. The first shell, n = 1, is called the inner shell. It can only have two electrons, while the second shell, n = 2, can have eight. The third shell, n = 3 can only have 18 electrons. The fourth shell, n = 4, can have 32, and so on.

The innermost electron shell of an atom is the s orbital of the first energy level, which can contain only two electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe maximum number of electrons that can be accomodated in the 1s shell (the innermost) is 2. The arrangement of electrons around the nucleus is known as the electron configuration.

What are the maximum number of electrons found in the first shell and second shell?
First orbital can be occupied by a total of 2 electrons and the second orbital can be occupied by a total of 8 electrons. 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 ( what element is this ? )
How many electrons are there in the valence shell of a nitrogen atom?
Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. Its atomic number is 7 therefore it has a total of 7 electrons. If you put this in a Bohr-Rutherford Diagram, there would be 2 electrons in the first shell (Helium structure) and 5 electrons in the outer shell. The number of electrons in an element's outermost shell is its number of valence electrons.
How many electrons would hydrogen require to fill up the first shell?
hydrogen has only one shell and since it has atomic number one, its net number of electrons is one. the first shell can hold maximum of 2 electrons due to the bohr bury formula. so the number of electrons in its first shell is 1. to fill it 1 electrons are required which can be gained from any metal.
How many electrons are required to fill the first shell?
The number of electrons in a shell is 2n2, where n=shell number. So for the first shell, there is a maximum of 2 electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons in the second principal energy level?
The maximum number of electrons in the second principle energy level (n=2) is 8. This can be determined from 2(n^2) which for n=2 would be 2 x 4 = 8. It can also be seen by writing the electron configuration for n=2 which would be 2s2 2p6 for a total of 8 electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons in the first shell?
2 electrons are found in the first electron shell.
What are the number of electrons that can be held in the first orbit?
2 electrons maximum. 1s2
What is the maximum number of electrons that can fit in an atom's first energy level?
2 electrons
Maximum number of electrons in first electron level?
5
What is the maximum number of electrons an element can have on the first level?

What are the maximum number of electrons found in the first shell and second shell?
First orbital can be occupied by a total of 2 electrons and the second orbital can be occupied by a total of 8 electrons. 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 ( what element is this ? )
What is the maximum number of electron that an outer energy level can hold?
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.
What is the maximum number of electrons in the second electron shell?
8 (just in the second shell) but if you're counting all of the electrons, including the first shell, then there are 10 electrons all together. Eight Electrons are the maximum.
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 is the maximum number of electrons in each of the first three energy level list separately?
is the electron cloud
What is the maximum number of electrons that can be contained in the third electron level?
3 s = 2 3 p = 6 3 d = 10 so 18 total
How many electrons at the maximum can be present in the first shell?
Two electrons can fit in the first shell
