How many electrons can occupy the first shell? How many can occupy the second shell?
To find:
The number of electrons that can occupy the first shell and the second shell.
Answer to Problem 1RCC
Solution:
Only two electrons can occupy the first shell while eight electrons can occupy the second shell.
Explanation of Solution
Every atom tends to form bonds. The bond formation depends upon the outer shell’s electron. There is a model to arrange a number of electrons in each shell. The noble gas shell model describes that the number of electrons in the first shell can be two and the number of electrons in the second shell can be eight.

One potential application of nanotechnology is the construction of artificial cells. The simplest cells would probably mimic red blood cells, the body's oxygen transporters. For example, nanocontainers, perhaps constructed of carbon, could be pumped full of oxygen and injected into a person's bloodstream. If the person needed additional oxygen-due to a heart attack perhaps, or for the purpose of space travel-these containers could slowly release oxygen into the blood, allowing tissues that would otherwise die to remain alive.
