- Electrons occupy different 'shells' - each electron is in a particular shell.
- Electrons occupy the innermost shells.
- The shells can hold a specific amount of electrons:
1st Shell: 2 electrons
2nd Shell: 8 elctrons
3rd Shell: 8 electrons
4th Shell: 18 electrons
(no need for further knowledge for GCSE)
On the next page it is shown how electron shells are drawn for GCSE.
