Each shell may have 1 or as many as 4 different sublevels.
shell (orbits)
2 in the first shell .every shell after that can have a maximum of 8.
The quantum shell or the principle shell (represented by an integer known as the principle quantum number, n) are orbits found in an atom. It is arranged as n=1, n=2, and so forth, n=1 being closest to the nucleus. As the numbers increase, so do the energy. Each quantum shell is an orbit, and in the orbits exist sub-orbitals. Please see sub-orbitals for more details.
The number of electrons that can occupy each shell in an atom is determined by the formula 2n2, where n is the shell number.
There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.
Its a fairly good question. They wont collide as they are in separate orbits, which are many millions of km apart - orbits within orbits. The planets when drawn to scale are also tiny when compared with these orbits and distances. Having said that, their gravitational fields do indeed effect each other, distorting each others orbits.
Each sulfur atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
2 electrons in each shell: 2,8,18,18,8,2
Phosphorous has 2 elements in K-shell, 8 in L-shell and 5 in M-shell.
The number of electrons in each shell surrounding the nucleus is determined by the shell's energy level. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 electrons, and so on.
According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.
