1st shell: 2 electrons, 2nd shell: 8 electrons, 3rd shell: 8 electrons, 4th shell: 4 electrons, 5th shell: 0 electrons, 6th shell: 0 electrons.
The innermost shell of an atom can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
The first orbital shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
In the case of potassium, the M-shell does not have 8 electrons, rather it has 2 electrons. Potassium has 19 electrons in total, and they are distributed in different electron shells following the electron configuration principle. The M-shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons, but it doesn't mean that it always has that many electrons.
Germanium, which has 32 electrons and protons, has 4 energy levels or electron shells. There are 2 electrons in the 1st shell, 8 in the 2nd shell, 18 in the 3rd shell and 4 in the 4th shell.
The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
1st shell: 2 electrons, 2nd shell: 8 electrons, 3rd shell: 8 electrons, 4th shell: 4 electrons, 5th shell: 0 electrons, 6th shell: 0 electrons.
The first shell of Neon, known as the K shell, can only hold two electrons. The first shell of any chemical element can only hold two electrons.
The innermost shell of an atom can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
The first orbital shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.
In the case of potassium, the M-shell does not have 8 electrons, rather it has 2 electrons. Potassium has 19 electrons in total, and they are distributed in different electron shells following the electron configuration principle. The M-shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons, but it doesn't mean that it always has that many electrons.
1st Shell: 2 2nd Shell: 8 3rd Shell: 8
Germanium, which has 32 electrons and protons, has 4 energy levels or electron shells. There are 2 electrons in the 1st shell, 8 in the 2nd shell, 18 in the 3rd shell and 4 in the 4th shell.
2. all atoms may onl hold up to 2 electrons in the first shell, no matter how man electrons it has in all. (with the exception of hydrogen, because of the fact that it only has 1 electron in all). Nitrogen has 7 electrons in all- 2 in the 1st shell, 5 in the second
The valence shell electron configuration of barium is 6s^2. Barium has a total of 56 electrons distributed in its electron shells, with 2 electrons in the outermost shell (6s).
1, because it has an atomic number of one, meaning it has 1 proton & 1 electron. It takes 2 electrons to fill the first electron shell, but hydrogen only has 1. So it remains at the 1st shell.
