It’s no! Electrons aren’t trapped in their own shell!
I think it's the valence shell
Those electrons are the valence electrons. They are the electrons which mostly take part in exchange of electrons or sharing of electrons. Hence, valence shell electrons are a very important part of chemistry since all the reactions due to them only.
Group 1 - 1 valence electron Group 2 - 2 valence electrons Group 13 - 3 valence electrons Group 14 - 4 valence electrons Group 15 - 5 valence electrons Group 16 - 6 valence electrons Group 17 - 7 valence electrons Group 18 - 8 valence electrons Groups 3 - 12 technically have 2 valence electrons, but will also use d sublevel electrons as valence electrons as well. So their number of valence electrons vary (even for the same element) and require some memorization.
The electron configuration of argon is [Ne] 3s2 3p6. From this, we can see that the outer shell contains eight electrons.
Outer energy level electrons, or valence electron.
The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.
the first shell: 2 electrons The second shell: 8 electrons The third shell: 18 electrons The fourth shell: 3 electrons
In the first shell there are two electrons and in the second shell there are six electrons, but only the electrons in the second (outer) shell are valence electrons.
14 electrons. 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in second shell, and 4 electrons in the valence shell.
2 electrons in the K shell and 8 electrons in the L shell
Electrons in the outermost energy shell (valence shell) have the most energy.
Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. The ones in the inner shell are known as core electrons.
Maximum number of electrons = 2n2, where n is the number of shell (n = 1 for K, 2 for L, 3 for M, and so on) K shell has 2 electrons maximum L shell has 8 electrons maximum M shell has 18 electrons maximum N shell has 32 electrons maximum O shell has 50 electrons maximum P shell has 72 electrons maximum
Shell 1: Two electrons Shell 2: Eight electrons Shell 3: Eight electrons Shell 4: Eighteen electrons
we know that 1st shell contain 2 electrons 2nd shell 8 electrons but third shell have to contains 18 electrons but the maximum no. of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8 electrons...... by yhell
inner shell electrons : the electrons that are not in the the highest occupied energy level .
No, its two electrons in the first, 8 electrons in the 2nd and 3rd shell if its stable
