According to one of Lewis' theories, each shell has a maximum number of electrons using the formula 2n2 where n = the shell number. For example: 1st shell = 2(1)2 = 2 electrons maximum; 2nd shell = 2(2)2 = 8 electrons maximum.
Maximum number of possible electrons in each shell: K - 2 L - 8 M - 8 N - 18
There are different electrons in the outer shell of each element.
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 shell formula is a chemical formula that represents the electron configuration of an atom. It is used to describe the distribution of electrons in the various energy levels or shells surrounding the nucleus of an atom. The shell formula typically consists of the symbol of the element, followed by numbers representing the distribution of electrons in each energy level.

Mg or Magnesium has 2 electrons in its Valence shell. If you have the right Periodic Table it should have numbers 1A, 2A,... 3B, ect listed above each column. These numbers represent the number of Electrons in the valence shell of all the elements in that Column.
1st shell: 2 electrons, 2nd shell: 8 electrons, 3rd shell: 8 electrons, 4th shell: 4 electrons, 5th shell: 0 electrons, 6th shell: 0 electrons.
Yes. The shells of an atom have different limits for how many electrons they can hold depending on the size of the shell. For example, the limit of the first shell is just two electrons, but the bigger second shell can hold eight electrons.
Actually each energy level is considered to be a shell and the electrons are moving in the shell (in fixed paths).
The number of electrons that can occupy each shell in an atom is determined by the formula 2n2, where n is the shell number.
Each sulfur atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
Phosphorous has 2 elements in K-shell, 8 in L-shell and 5 in M-shell.
The number of electrons in each shell surrounding the nucleus is determined by the shell's energy level. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 electrons, and so on.
Shell 1: Two electrons Shell 2: Eight electrons Shell 3: Eight electrons Shell 4: Eighteen electrons
Sulfur (S) has 6 electrons in its outermost shell and 2 electrons in its innermost shell, but the next shell also has 6 electrons, making it an example of having more than one shell occupied by electrons while still having the same number of electrons in each shell.
Maximum number of possible electrons in each shell: K - 2 L - 8 M - 8 N - 18
The penultimate shell can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons. This is based on the maximum number of electrons that can occupy each subshell within the penultimate shell (s = 2 electrons, p = 6 electrons).
