112 electrons in 7 shells: 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 18, 2.

Shells are a teaching model: an electron does not travel on a ring at a fixed distance.

Bohr model of the copernicium atom: a nucleus drawn in the CPK colour for copernicium, surrounded by 7 electron shells drawn as rings holding 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 18 and 2 electrons. The viewer also draws the shape of copernicium's outer orbitals, computed for a one-electron atom and shown without a scale.

This element has no standard atomic weight; the atomic mass shown is PubChem's, that of copernicium-286, and no isotope of it is established as the longest-lived.

That mass is an estimate by the IAEA's Atomic Mass Data Center, not a measurement.

The electron configuration and the phase of this element are predictions, not measurements.
