There are 1 electron in the third shell of lithium. Lithium has an atomic number of 3, so it has 3 electrons in total. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, leaving 1 electron in the third shell.
Lithium has the electronic configuration
1s2 2s1
There are therefore 2 electrons in the first i.e. lowest energy shell.

How many electrons are in lithium valence shell?
1
How many electrons are found on the third shell of helium?
the number of electrons found in the third shell of an helium atom are nill because its atomic number is 2
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 how many electrons can each of the four shells nearest the nucleus hold?
The first shell (K shell) can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell (L shell) can hold up to 8 electrons, the third shell (M shell) can hold up to 18 electrons, and the fourth shell (N shell) can hold up to 32 electrons.
How many shells in 20 electrons?
There are 4 shells in 20 electrons: 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second, 8 in the third, and 2 in the fourth shell.
How many electrons are in lithium valence shell?
1
How many electrons in lithium's first shell?
Lithium has the electronic configuration 1s2 2s1 There are therefore 2 electrons in the first i.e. lowest energy shell.
How many electrons are in the outer most shell of lithium?
1
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.
How many electrons does it take to fill up the third shell?
The third shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
How many electrons are on the outer shell of lithium?
A lithium atom has one electron on the outer shell. This is because there is 2 electrons maximum on the inner shell, so there is one left over for the outer shell. Hope you understand now xx
How many electrons are in an atom of lithium?
3. 2 in the first shell, 1 in the second
How many electrons can fit in the third shell of an atom?
The third shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell up to 8 electrons, and the third shell up to 18 electrons based on the formula 2n^2, where n is the shell number.
How many electrons in lithium are responsible for its chemical properties?
Just the one electron in Lithium's outer shell is responsible for its chemical properties.
How many electrons can the 3rd atom shell hold?
The third electron shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
How many electrons are found on the third shell of helium?
the number of electrons found in the third shell of an helium atom are nill because its atomic number is 2
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.
