The m shell has three subshells: s, p, and d. Each subshell can hold a different number of electrons and is defined by different orbital shapes.
no. of electrons to fill an energy level = 2n2. = 2x32 = 18
Carbon needs 4 electrons to fill up its outer shell. It has 4 valence electrons and can achieve a full octet by gaining 4 more electrons.
Flerovium is element 114 on the periodic table, and its electron configuration is [Rn] 5f14 6d10 7s2 7p2. This means that the outermost electrons, in the 7s and 7p subshells, add up to 4 electrons in the outermost ring.
It will lose 2 electrons.
There are two subshells in the second energy level: 2s and 2p.
The fourth shell has 4 subshells, which are labeled s, p, d, and f. The s subshell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, the d subshell can hold a maximum of 10 electrons, and the f subshell can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.
The m shell has three subshells: s, p, and d. Each subshell can hold a different number of electrons and is defined by different orbital shapes.
The sixth orbit shell can hold a maximum of 32 electrons. This shell can be broken down into subshells which include s, p, d, and f orbitals. Each of these subshells can hold a specific number of electrons based on their orbital shape and orientation.
There are 4 electron sub-shells: s, p, d, and f. These letters stand for sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental, but the names are not important. s subshells have 2 electons, while p subshells have 6, d subshells have 10, and f subshells have 14. There can be higher subshells, but these subshells require too much energy to fill and no element with a g subshell (the next subshell after f) has ever been synthesized. The first shell (i.e. the first period of the periodic table) has only s. Thus, the first shell has 2 electrons. The second shell has s and p subshells, so it has 2+6 or 8 electrons. The third shell has s, p, and d subshells. It ultimately has 18 electons. This can be misleading, however. The d subshell requires more energy to fill than the higher-shell s subshell. This is why the third period of the periodic table does not have a d section: the d electron subshell of the third Bohr shell does not fill until after the s subshell of the fourth Bohr shell has filled. Looking at the periodic table, you can see that the third period only has 8 electrons, while the 4th period has 18. The 18 electrons in the fourth period are the s subshell of the fourth shell, the d subshell of the 3rd shell, and the p subshell of the 4th shell. The fourth shell is similar to the third shell, but more extreme. The fourth shell has s, p, d, and f subshells, but the f subshell is not filled until two higher s shells have been filled. It does, however, fill out to 32 electrons in the 6th period of the periodic table. In the 6th period, the first period to have 32 electrons, there are 32 electrons, filling these subshells: s subshell of the 6th shell, f subshell of the 4th shell, d subshell of the 5th shell, and then the p subshell of the 6th shell. The fifth shell would ultimately fill out to a full 50 electrons and would do so in the 8th period of the periodic table. However, as previously noted, no substance has ever been found or generated with that many electrons. It would fill the s subshell of three shells above (i.e. shell 8) before it filled the g subshell of shell 5. No element in the 8th period has ever been synthesized, so a filled fifth Bohr shell has never been found. A good example for a Bohr diagram would be Astatine, which is in the 6th period. In the first shell of the Bohr diagram, you have 2 electrons (s subshell only). It is filled completely. In the second, you have 8 electrons (s and p subshells) and in the third you have 18 electrons (s, p, and d), and both shells are filled completely. In the fourth shell, you have 32 electrons (s, p, d, and f), and it is filled completely. In the fifth shell, you have 18 electrons. This is because only the s, p, and d subshells are filled. It would require too much energy to fill the f subshell of the 5th shell, so the electrons just go to the s, p, and d subshell of higher shells. The 6th shell has 7 electrons. The 2 electrons of the s subshell are filled first, and then 5 electrons go into the p shell.
Five of them.
Subshells are divisions of electron shells by their orbital occupation and their principle energy level. The orbitals are divided into s, p, d, and f configurations and can exist in multiple subshells at different energy levels.

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
There 8 electrons in the second shell.
