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 free electron theory assumptions?
according to classical free electron theory of electronsan atom contains an electrons in its outer most orbits and metal contains such type of atomsfree electrons moves randomly entire the volume of the metal like the gas molecules in containerwhile random motion of moving of electrons they collide with fixed positve ions or wiht themselves and the collisions formation due to collisions is elastic collosion that means there is no loss of energy.
Who said that electrons orbit an atom like planets orbit the sun?
Niels Bohr developed the theory. However, Ernest Rutherford was really the first to think of it.
What is the difference between Free Electron Theory and Band Theory of solids?
Free Electron Theory:This theory tells that, metals conduct electricity because of the presence of free electrons in it. The outermost shells of metal atoms will be loosely bound with their nucleus. So the electrons in it are free to move anywhere in the solid.These electrons are called free electrons and they are responsible for the conduction of electricity.Band theory of solids:A solid is assumed to contain many bands in which the electrons in it are packed. The most important are valence band and conduction band. The energy of electrons in these bands will be different.The difference in energies of valence band and conduction band determines whether the solid is a conductor, semi - conductor or insulator.For insulators, the difference between energies of them ( energy gap ) will be very high, and for conductor, these bands overlap each other.The conduction band carries the electrons that conduct electricity, but the valence band has all the electrons in the ground state. Whether they go into the conduction band depends on the temperature and the energy gap between the bands. In a conductor, these bands overlap, and hence many electrons can become conducting. Thus, Band Theory explains distinction between metals and insulators, which Free Electron theory cannot do (since it assumes all valence electrons become conducting). Calculations are be performed to see which materials will have big energy gaps and which will have overlapping bands.
What are examples of Dalton's atomic theory?
Atomic theory including the stricter of atOms in terms of protons and neutrons and electrons
Which theory describe the way atoms are arranged within a molecule?
the VSEPR theory

Does not contains the Sierra Nevada Mountains?
Yes it does, if you look into Einstein's theory it should clearly show that does not, does in fact contain the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Why was Dalton's model of the atom changed after Thomson's experiment?
John Dalton's atomic theory indicated that atoms were indivisible spheres. When JJ Thomson did his work with cathode ray tubes, he discovered that atoms contain electrons, which meant that the atom is not indivisible, that there are smaller particles within.
How does ATP as a universal energy currency relate to the theory of evolution by natural selection?
It really doesn't. It's just what we choose to do with our electrons.
What is the theory that all human cells contain a nucleus?
This theory is false. Red blood cells do not contain a nucleus.
What chemical theory explains the difference in the physical property used for fractionation?
fractions with the lowest boiling points generally contain the smallest molecules, which have fewer electrons and weaker London Forces
Who said that electrons orbit an atom like planets orbit the sun?
Niels Bohr developed the theory. However, Ernest Rutherford was really the first to think of it.
How can you prove that electrons have an elliptical orbit?
Short answer: You can't. It's a theory, a pretty good one and we have a lot of evidence to support the idea. But really it's just simplified to make it seem like they orbit atoms. In truth they don't, electrons are everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Atomic theory is extremely complicated.
What did daltons theory say about protons and electrons?
Nothing,Dolton did not know about Protons,neutrons and electrons
Atom theory JJ thomas?
discovered electrons
Why is oxygen molecule paramagnetic?
Answer 1) O2 molecule has two unpaired electrons which is only proved by Molecular orbitals theory (M.O.T). the M.O.T may be checked in any standard book of Inorganic chemistry.Answer 2) If you examine the orbital diagram for dioxygen, it contains a SOMO (Singly-Occupied Molecular Orbital) with 2 unpaired electrons. Dinitrogen does not have this. These unpaired electrons contribute to magnetism.
What was the name of the discovery that disproved Dalton's theory?
Thomson disproved Dalton's theory because he discovered electrons.
