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

Answer :

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

Define model of atom.

An atom is a fundamental unit of matter that cannot be disassembled chemically.

Depending on the energy of the electron, the orbital shells that an atom's electrons are arranged in are located at various levels within the structure of the atom. The initial energy level, or electron shell nearest to the atom's nucleus, is where electrons with the lowest energy can be found.

The following formula determines the maximum number of electrons that can be discovered at a specific energy level;

The number of electron = 2 × n²

Where;

n = The number of the different energy level

Therefore;

In the first energy when n = 1, the maximum number of electrons is provided as follows;

The number of electron = 2 × 1² = 2 electrons

In the second energy when n = 2, the maximum number of electrons is provided as follows;

The number of electron = 2 × 2² = 8 electrons

We have 2 electrons in the first energy level and the remaining 6 electrons in the second energy level because there are only 8 electrons in the atom.
