The L shells holds only 8 electrons. The M shell holds 8 electrons. However, it can hold up to 18 when the atomic number increases.
we know that 1st shell contain 2 electrons 2nd shell 8 electrons but third shell have to contains 18 electrons but the maximum no. of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8 electrons...... by yhell
Phosphorous has 2 elements in K-shell, 8 in L-shell and 5 in M-shell.
Oxygen has 8 electrons in total. The distribution of these electrons in shells KLMN is as follows: K shell has 2 electrons, L shell has 6 electrons, M shell has 0 electrons, and N shell has 0 electrons.
If the number of electrons in the M shell is equal to the sum of the electrons in the K and L shells, then the element is Silicon (atomic number 14). It has 4 electrons in the K shell, 8 in the L shell, and 2 in the M shell.
1st shell: 2 electrons, 2nd shell: 8 electrons, 3rd shell: 8 electrons, 4th shell: 4 electrons, 5th shell: 0 electrons, 6th shell: 0 electrons.
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

Phosphorous has 2 elements in K-shell, 8 in L-shell and 5 in M-shell.
Maximum number of possible electrons in each shell: K - 2 L - 8 M - 8 N - 18
Oxygen has 8 electrons in total. The distribution of these electrons in shells KLMN is as follows: K shell has 2 electrons, L shell has 6 electrons, M shell has 0 electrons, and N shell has 0 electrons.
If the number of electrons in the M shell is equal to the sum of the electrons in the K and L shells, then the element is Silicon (atomic number 14). It has 4 electrons in the K shell, 8 in the L shell, and 2 in the M shell.
Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons in the M shell.
Ammonia is a molecule (NH3) and not an atom.
The first shell (K shell) can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell (L shell) can hold up to 8 electrons, the third shell (M shell) can hold up to 18 electrons, and the fourth shell (N shell) can hold up to 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.
1st shell: 2 electrons, 2nd shell: 8 electrons, 3rd shell: 8 electrons, 4th shell: 4 electrons, 5th shell: 0 electrons, 6th shell: 0 electrons.
An atom of silicon has three electron shells or orbitals. These are the K, L, and M shells. The K shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the L shell can hold up to 8 electrons, and the M shell can hold up to 18 electrons.
