If this atom is a neutral atom, then the element is neon, an inert or noble gas from Group 18 on the Periodic Table of elements.

An atom that has 3 electrons in its second shell and a filled first shell will?
lose 3 electrons from its second shell
What is the electron arrangement in a boron atom?
2 electrons in the first shell then 3 electrons in the second shell
How many electrons can the second shell of an atom hold?
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
How many electrons are there in a first shell of a neutral neon atom?
Neon atom number 10: first shell (K) : 2 electrons second shell (L): 8 electrons all shells being filled up completely
How many electrons are in each of the first two shells if an atom contains eight electrons?
The first shell can have 2 electrons, the second shell has 8 electrons and the third shell has 8 electron also. No matter what, electron fill up the first shell and then move into the next shell and then the next one. To answer the question, the first shell would have 2 electron and then the second shell would have six.
An atom that has 3 electrons in its second shell and a filled first shell will?
lose 3 electrons from its second shell
In what shell do valence electrons locate in?
Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
What is the electron arrangement in a boron atom?
2 electrons in the first shell then 3 electrons in the second shell
What is the configuration of an atom with 31 electrons?
the first shell: 2 electrons The second shell: 8 electrons The third shell: 18 electrons The fourth shell: 3 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.
Which atom contains eight electrons?
Oxygen. Two of the electrons are in the first shell. The other six of them are in the second shell.
How many electrons can the second shell of an atom hold?
First Shell always has 2 electrons. Second shell onwards can have up to a maximum of 8 electrons.
What determines whether or not an atom reacts with other atoms is it the electrons on the first shell or the second?
valence electrons or the electrons on the outer most shell.
What is the number of electrons that can occupy the second shell of an atom?
The second shell can hold eight electrons.
How many electrons are there in a first shell of a neutral neon atom?
Neon atom number 10: first shell (K) : 2 electrons second shell (L): 8 electrons all shells being filled up completely
How many electrons can go in the first second and third shell of an atom?
The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 while the third shell can also hold a maximum of 8.
How many electrons are in an atom of lithium?
3. 2 in the first shell, 1 in the second
