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
K shell has 2
L shell has 8
M shell has 18
N shell has 32 electrons
8
2 electrons in the K shell and 8 electrons in the L shell
Maximum number of possible electrons in each shell: K - 2 L - 8 M - 8 N - 18
The inner most shell is the K shell with 2 electrons whereas the outer shell or the L shell has 5 electrons
there is only one electron in the outermost shell of Na.
It is because the two electrons in helium are placed in K-shell. The K-shell has the capacity of only two electrons. Therefore, in Lithium the third electron is placed in the L-shell. You can find the capacity of a shell to hold electrons by the formula 2n2 where n is the shell no.
2 electrons in the K shell and 8 electrons in the L shell
Maximum number of possible electrons in each shell: K - 2 L - 8 M - 8 N - 18
If K and L shell are full then the number of electrons in that atom is 10.
Ammonia is a molecule (NH3) and not an atom.
Phosphorous has 2 elements in K-shell, 8 in L-shell and 5 in M-shell.
rubidium
Sice K will have 2 electrons and L will have 8 electrons, the total number of electrons will be 10.
The inner most shell is the K shell with 2 electrons whereas the outer shell or the L shell has 5 electrons
there is only one electron in the outermost shell of Na.
Neon atom number 10: first shell (K) : 2 electrons second shell (L): 8 electrons all shells being filled up completely
It is because the two electrons in helium are placed in K-shell. The K-shell has the capacity of only two electrons. Therefore, in Lithium the third electron is placed in the L-shell. You can find the capacity of a shell to hold electrons by the formula 2n2 where n is the shell no.
the formula for finding out the maximum number of electrons is dependent upon (2n2). n represents the shell, K,L,M,N,O, etc. So if the K shell is the question K is the innermost shell and is represented as 1, so 1 squared is 1, times 2 equals 2! And L is the second shell in the orbit, so 2 squared is 4, times 2 equals 8! M is the third, so 3 squared is 9 times 2 is 18! etc....
