The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the third energy level in a ground state atom is 18. This is because the third energy level has a subshell structure of 3s, 3p, and 3d orbitals, which can hold a maximum of 2, 6, and 10 electrons respectively.
Chlorine atom has 17 electrons. It is readily accepting an electron from another atom to obtain its stable electron configuration (of argon). A chloride ion has 18 electrons.
In magnesium, the third energy level can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. However, in a ground state magnesium atom, only 2 electrons are present in the third energy level, as magnesium has 12 electrons total - 2 in the first level and 8 in the second level.
The valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding. The electrons more loosely held by the nucleus - are the ones that are gained, lost or shared.
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
A chloride atom has 17 electrons. Following the electron configuration, there are 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 in the second, and 7 in the third energy level.
In the question, it should be either "chlorine atom" or "chloride ion". Chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons. Chloride ion has 8 valence electrons.
There are eight electrons in the third level of a chromium atom.There are four level in the chromium atom, and the fourth level, unfilled, contains 6 out of 18 electrons, in the neutral, non-ionized atom.
There are 8 electrons in the third energy level of a calcium atom. This can be determined by using the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number (n=3 for the third energy level).
The third energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. This level consists of one 3s orbital (2 electrons), three 3p orbitals (6 electrons), and five 3d orbitals (10 electrons).
An argon atom has 2 electrons in its first energy level, 8 electrons in its second energy level, and 8 electrons in its third energy level.
A chloride ion has 8 electrons in its outermost energy level, since it has gained one electron from an atom of chlorine to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The third level of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
This would be sulfur, and the third level has 6 electrons. See the diagram linked below
This atom would be lithium (Li). It has 3 electrons, with 2 electrons in the first energy level and 1 electron in the third energy level.
8
There are 2 electrons in the first energy level, 8 electrons in the second energy level, and 2 electrons in the third energy level of a magnesium atom, as it has an atomic number of 12 with electron configuration 2-8-2.
