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

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
zero in the first energy level, eight 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

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

1 answer

The correct response is:

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

This arrangement follows the general rule that the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. In this case, with a total of 8 electrons, it would be 2 in the first level and 6 in the second level.
