Best Answer

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

Two electrons in helium are placed in only one shell while three electrons in lithium occupy two shells?

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.


How many electrons can occupy the k shell and L shell?

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....
