If an element contains 8 electrons how many electrons will be placed in the 2nd valence shell?

The number of electrons that will be placed in the second valence shell is 6 electrons

From a background understanding of the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of atom, we understood that the 1st shell will hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while other shells a maximum of 8 electrons.

Considering the question given above, we have:

Total electron = 8 electrons

1st shell = 2 electrons

Remaining electrons = 8 – 2

Remaining electrons = 6 electrons

Since the remaining elections is not more than 8 electrons, they will be place in the 2nd shell i.e

2nd shell = 6 electrons

Thus, we can conclude that the 2nd shell will have 6 electrons.

The  grandmother cell  is a hypothetical  neuronthat represents a complex but specific concept or object.[1]  it activates when a person "sees, hears, or otherwise sensibly discriminates"[2]  a specific entity, such as his or her grandmother. the term was in use at least as early as 1966 amongst staff and students in the department of experimental psychology, university of cambridge, england. a similar concept, that of the  gnostic neuron, was proposed two years later
