How do you know how many electrons need to go in the second shell?
The formula is 2n2 where n is the principal quantum number (the "shell" number). In this case the second shell has a principal quantum number of 2 so 2X 22 = 8
How many electrons can shell p hold?
P stands for Principal shell and it can hold 6 electrons.
What is a principal quantam number?
The principal quantum number refers to the electron shell, or energy. Refer to the related link to read a Wikipedia article about quantum numbers.
How many valence electrons will calcium gain or lose to fill its outer shell?
A calcium atom will normally lose its two valence electrons, which have principal quantum number 4, to a more electronegative atom when forming a compound. When this happens, the already filled electron shell with principal quantum number 3 becomes the outer shell of the resulting calcium cation, and this cation has the electronic structure of the noble gas preceding calcium in the periodic table, neon
Why does the M shell in Bohr theory really contain 18 electrons while the N shell really contains 32 electrons?
The formula for getting the total number electrons occupying a shell is given by 2n2 For M shell the principal quantum number, that is, 'n' is 3. So 2 x 9 = 18 For N shell its quantum number is 4 and hence 32 electrons.

What is shell?
Orbitals with the same value of Principal Quantum number , n.
How many electrons are in the fourth principal shell of a cadmium atom?
18
How many electrons are required to fill the first shell?
The number of electrons in a shell is 2n2, where n=shell number. So for the first shell, there is a maximum of 2 electrons.
All of the orbitals in a given electron shell have the same value of the?
Principal quantum number.
What is a principal quantam number?
The principal quantum number refers to the electron shell, or energy. Refer to the related link to read a Wikipedia article about quantum numbers.
Which quantum number is also called sub-shell quantum number?
This is the principal quantum number, n.
Does a set of p orbitals with the same principal quantum number hold a maximum of 6 electrons?
No it can only hold up to 2. You have a rule for finding the maximum of electrons in every single shell. It is 2 *(shellnumber)2. Shell number 1 = 2 electrons Shell number 2 = 8 electrons Shell number 3 = 18 electrons Shell number 4 = 32 electrons Shell number 5 = 50 electrons Shell number 6 = 72 electrons Shell number 7 = 98 electrons Shell number above does for the moment not exist.
The principal quantum number for the outermost electrons in a Bromine atom in the ground state is?
It is n=4 because Br is in the 4p valence shell.
