No more than 2.
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 very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
Two electrons can fit into the first orbital shell of any atom.
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
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 electrons are found in the first electron shell.
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 very inner shell of an atom is the 1st shell and can only contain 2 electrons.
Two electrons can fit into the first orbital shell of any atom.
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.

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
6 orbital shells. Inner orbital shell (1st shell) containing 2 electrons. Next shell (2nd shell) containing 18, next containing
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.
