  • Electron ArrangementElectrons are arranged in the shell of atoms around the nucleusElectrons occupy the shells closest to the nucleus firstThe electrons only start occupying a new shell when the previous one has been occupied

  • NucleusThe 1st shell : 2 electronsThe 2nd shell : 8 electronsThe 3rd shell : 8 electronsThe 4th shell : 2 electronsElectron Arrangement

  • Lithium2.1Carbon2.4
