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)

Question

Responses

eight in the first energy level, zero in the second energy level
eight in the first energy level, zero in the second energy level

two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level
two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level

four in the first energy level, four in the second energy level
four in the first energy level, four in the second energy level

zero in the first energy level, eight in the second energy level

Answer 1

The correct response is: two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level.

In atomic structure, the first energy level (or shell) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. Therefore, if you have eight electrons in total, they would be distributed as follows: 2 electrons in the first energy level and 6 electrons in the second energy level.
