In this manner, how many shells can an atom have?
Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2(n2) electrons.
Subsequently, question is, does oxygen have 2 electron shells? So for the element of OXYGEN, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 8 electrons in an oxygen atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one and six in shell two. ? More about the history and places to find oxygen.
Hereof, does Shell 2 have 4 electrons?
Lithium (At. No. = 3) has three electrons, two in the K shell and one located farther from the nucleus in the L shell.

Do all atoms have the same mass?
REMEMBER: Atoms of the same chemical element do not always have the same mass because, although the number of protons in the nucleus is the same for all atoms of the same element, the number of neutrons is not. Most elements as they occur naturally on earth are mixtures of several isotopes.
