Helium Electrons per Shell ☢️ (He) rev. 2022 [& Color, Discovery ...

Atoms have electrons that need to be distributed somehow, even Helium. Ok so where are these electrons in an atom of He?

In the case of Helium the number of electons per shell is 2. Besides the distribution of electrons there is a lot of funny facts about Helium that most don't know. Let me show you...

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Helium Electrons per Shell (He) [& Color, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
