Answer:
Eyo just restating, its 5 shells/levels/orbits/rings
mah homie its def 5, don't worry; search engines have your back *(mostly, not really)*

true dat
The innermost layer of elements always has a maximum of 2 shells, and continues outwards for as many electrons the element has.
The second to the center layer has 8 shells, and then on, the order fluctuates, as the elements' electrons will arrange themselves to the most symmetrical pattern possible.
I do believe the third shell has 8 electrons. Could mess with your future; don't quote me on anything for trust and compatibility.
f
1-*I know I may not be the most reliable source of details, statistics, and informational verbal communicative soundwaves but for simplicity and from my understanding, the third shell has 8 electrons, because the prior two shells combine to get a total of 10 electrons, added to 8 equals 18.*
Elements with 10 shells (it's Neon by the way) will follow the same pattern, 2 shells innermost, 8 shells next layer out, then as many as it takes.
Since 2 + 8 = 10, there are only 2 shells/levels/orbits/rings needed.
Hydrogen only has 1 electron and no more, so there is only 1 shell.
Helium has two electrons which fits perfectly:
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
The two electrons fits into only one shell of course, so moving on to three electrons.
Lithium has 3 electrons, and since two fits already in the first ring, and the next ring has a capacity of 8, there is plenty of room for 2 rings.
Hafnium has 72 electrons which has 6 rings, 2, 8, 18, 32, 10, 2

Hope this helps someone in the future~!
