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 two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level two in the first energy level, six 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
1 answer
In a typical model of an atom, the distribution of electrons among energy levels follows the general rule that the first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the second can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. In your case, with a total of 8 electrons, the likely distribution is:
Therefore, the correct response is: two in the first energy level, six in the second energy level.
