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

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

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

Answer 1

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

Explanation: the first shell holds up to 2 electrons, so with 8 total, the remaining 6 go in the second shell.
