Can somebody explain this on the middle school level to me so I can teach it? Electrons are in Energy levels, klmno..... Each energy level can hold a maximum number of electrons. If it's the outermost shell it can only hold 8 What happens to the rest of them, they go onto an outershell, and then the one with eight is no longer the outermost shell. do you just keep putting 8 into each subsequent shell until you end up with electrons less than 8 for a shell. Or do you put eight in the "outermost", go beyond that one to the new outermost shell and dump the rest in there regardless of number? i'm so confused! |
