Answer:

In the n=1 energy level, the atom has 2 electrons

Explanation:

Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in multiple rings (energy levels). The first ring of the electron can only hold 2 electrons. After that, electrons are added to the second ring. Excluding the first ring, all other rings can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.

For example, Oxygen is an atom with 6 electrons. The first energy level contains 2 electrons, and the second energy level contains 4 electrons. The second energy level has room for up to 4 more electrons.

In your example of an atom with 15 electrons, there would be 2 electrons in the first ring, 8 electrons in the second ring, and 5 electrons in the third and final ring.

To summarize, <em>all </em>atoms have a first energy level containing 2 electrons, and all other energy levels can contain 8 electrons. This is true no matter the number of electrons.

What practice should an obese individual on a diet carry out
erastova [34]

Some foods and eating patterns may make it easier to keep obesity in check.  Healthy food choices and diet patterns that help prevent heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions may also help to prevent weight gain.  

Eat whole foods-whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, healthful sources of protein (fish, poultry, beans), and plant oils. Processed food should be minimal. Limit sugared beverages, refined grains, potatoes, red and processed meats, and other highly processed foods, such as fast food.
