Two, Eight and Eighteen
Added:
The maximum number of electrons in all (1-7) shells (or periods I to VII) of the common Periodic Table of elements:
First K-shell: 2
Second L-shell: (2)+6= 8
Third M-shell: (2+6)+10= 8+10= 18
Fourth N-Shell: (2+6+10)+14= 18+14= 32
Fifth O-shell: .........................= 32+18= 50 (in common periodic table: max. reached at 32)
Sixth P-shell: .........................= 50+22= 72 (max. reached at about 18)
Seventh Q-shell: (2+6+10+14+18+22)+26= 72+26= 98 (max. reached at 2)
It is amazing to see the regularity and periodicity of these maximum numbers of electrons.
Would Mendeleev have expected anything like this when he came to his first idea's on 'arranging elements in a table' like he did and has got the Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1906 for.
What else can I help you with?
What element has 2 electrons in the first shell 8 second shell and 6 in the third shell?
This element is sulfur (S), with 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in the second shell, and 6 electrons in the third shell.
How many electrons can the second shell of an atom hold?
The second shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
How many electrons does sulfur have in its third electron shell?
Sulfur has 2 electrons in its first electron shell, 8 electrons in its second electron shell, and 6 electrons in its third electron shell.
What eleme has 2 electrons in the first shell and 8 in the second and 6 in the third?
The element with 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second, and 6 in the third is sulfur (atomic number 16). Sulfur's electron configuration is 2-8-6.
How many electrons are in each of the first two shells if an atom contains eight electrons?
The first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Therefore, if an atom contains 8 electrons, the first shell would have 2 electrons, and the remaining 6 electrons would be in the second shell.
What element has 2 electrons in the first shell 8 second shell and 6 in the third shell?
This element is sulfur (S), with 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 electrons in the second shell, and 6 electrons in the third shell.
How many electrons can the second shell of an atom hold?
The second shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
How many electrons are in the first shell second shell and third shell of neon?
It depends what electronic state it's found in, but in it's ground state (natural form) it has two electrons in the first shell, eight in the second and none in the third. This is because it has an atomic number of 10. 2+8 = 10.
How many electrons does sulfur have in its third electron shell?
Sulfur has 2 electrons in its first electron shell, 8 electrons in its second electron shell, and 6 electrons in its third electron shell.
