There are 7 different letters, each to represent each shell. They are: 1. K 2. L 3. M 4. N 5. O 6. P 7. Q
P and f only
Maximum number of electrons = 2n2, where n is the number of shell (n = 1 for K, 2 for L, 3 for M, and so on) K shell has 2 electrons maximum L shell has 8 electrons maximum M shell has 18 electrons maximum N shell has 32 electrons maximum O shell has 50 electrons maximum P shell has 72 electrons maximum
Mostly they are s or p electron sub-orbitals in the same (outer) shell. In the transition metals sometimes one electron from a higher d orbital gets involved ( e.g. to reach the oxidation states Fe2+ and Fe3+).
P stands for Principal shell and it can hold 6 electrons.
1 electron. It is Group I of the P-table hence has one "spare" electron

Halogens have 5 electrons in their outermost p shell in their electrically balanced state. The p shell has 3 orbitals in each energy level. Halogens have 2 filled orbitals each with 2 electrons in them and one orbital with only one electron in it. In order to obtain the stable noble gas electron configuration, halogens gain one electron to completely fill the p shell on the outermost energy level. This gives halogens a charge of -1.

in the outer shell there is only aloud it be 8 electrons. Really it depends on the Element because metals have 4 or less Electrons in the outer ring. But nonmetals have 8 or less. So in order to know how many electrons there are you have to find out which Element you are wanting to know about.

Given what we know about electron structure, we would expect there to be 8 electrons in the outer shell of an atom with the atomic number of 10. And that's how many there are. Element 10 is neon, and like all noble or inert gases, it has a full outer shell.There are only two electron shells for all the elements up through element 10 (neon). The first shell will only accept 2 electrons. That's the s shell, and it's the outer shell (and the only shell) for helium (the lightest inert gas). The next 8 electrons will fill the second electron shell, which is the p shell. That means element 10 (the inert gas neon) will have a full s shell (2 electrons) and a full p shell (8 electrons).
It indicates that the Atom's outermost electron is in the 'p' sub shell of electrons It also indicates the element is in the P block of the periodic table
P stands for Principal shell and it can hold 6 electrons.
In (3s2 3p6 3d10) = 2 + 6 + 10 = 18 electrons in the 3rd shell (3(s+p+d))
When photons of sufficient energy are incident on a surface, an electron is ejected out from the core shell. The electron from the p-orbital or any other orbital of higher energy loses that much energy to fill up the gap created by the loss of this core electron. The energy lost by the p-orbital electron is absorbed by another electron in the same or higher shell, causing it to eject from the atom. This second atom is called the "Auger electron" and the effect is called Auger effect.
