Question
A model of an atom shows eight electrons in rings that represent different energy levels. How many electrons are in each energy level?(1 point)
Responses
two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level
two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level
eight in the first energy level, zero in the second energy level
eight in the first energy level, zero in the second energy level
zero in the first energy level, eight in the second energy level
zero in the first energy level, eight in the second energy level
four in the first energy level, four in the second energy level
1 answer
The correct response to the question about the distribution of electrons in the energy levels for an atom with eight electrons is:
two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level.
This is because the first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons, which is where the remaining 6 electrons would be placed in this scenario.
