Copper has two electrons in the innermost shell, eight in the next shell, eighteen in the third shell, and one in the fourth shell. This means that the first three shells each have as many electrons as they can hold, and the fourth shell has one lonely electron.

Answer:
copper have 18 electrons in its third shell
Explanation:
copper have 18 electrons in its third shell.The 3rd subshell consists of an s orbital , a set of (3)p orbitals and a set of (5)d orbitals. Each orbital holds 2 electrons and you will indeed find that you can fir 18 electrons in. ... This is because it is the maximum capacity of the 3rd shell and it doesn't tell about the order in which the electrons are filled.
