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

What is the atomic element if its m shell electrons equals to sum of k and l shell 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.


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.


How electrons does a K shell L shell M shell and N shell have?

Maximum number of possible electrons in each shell: K - 2 L - 8 M - 8 N - 18

How many shells or orbitals does an atom of silicon have?

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.


How many electrons can occupy the k shell and L shell?

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....
