A model of an atom shows eight electrons in rings that represent different energy levels. How many electrons are in each energy level?
1. eight in the first energy level, zero in the seconds energy level
2. Two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level
3. four in the first energy level, four in the second energy level
4. zero in the first energy level, eight in the second energy level
1 answer
The correct answer is 3. There are four electrons in the first energy level and four electrons in the second energy level.
