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....

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.

According to Bohr's model of the atom what do electrons oxygen bohrs like?

In Bohr's model, electrons in an oxygen atom occupy specific quantized energy levels called shells. Oxygen has two electrons in its innermost shell (K shell) and six electrons in its second shell (L shell). These electrons are arranged in a way that follows the principle of filling the lowest energy levels first before moving to higher ones.


If k and L shell of an atom are full then what would be the number of electrons in an atom?

If the K and L shells of an atom are full, the atom will have 18 electrons. The K shell can hold 2 electrons and the L shell can hold 8 electrons, totaling 10 electrons in both shells. Therefore, if both the K and L shells are full, there will be 18 electrons in the atom.


What element has 2 electrons in the l shell?

The element with 2 electrons in the L shell is Lithium with atomic number 3. The electron configuration for Lithium is 1s^2 2s^1, meaning it has 2 electrons in the L shell.
