How do you come up with an outermost shell?
The outermost shell of an atom is determined by the number of electrons it can hold, which is based on the atom's position in the periodic table. Atoms tend to fill their outermost shell with electrons to achieve stability, following the octet rule for main group elements. The outermost shell is also known as the valence shell and is responsible for an atom's chemical behavior.
What is used to determine the electronic configuration of elements?
The electronic configuration of elements is determined by the energy shells k, l , m, n and so on. K is the first shell L is the second shell and so on. A shell can accommodate 2(n*n) no. of electrons where n is the no. of the shell so the first shell K can accommodate 2(1*1) electrons that is 2 electrons. The atomic no. that is the no. of protons in an atom of the element needs to be known first then as we know that protons are equal in no. to the electrons we will put 2 in K shell 8 in L shell 8 in M shell 2 in N shell then again come back to M shell and fill it to its capacity that is 2(3*3)=18 . By this way you may be able to find the configuration of the first 30 elements easily which will cover up most of the common elements found in chemical reactions.

How do hermit crabs make a new shell?
The shell that the hermit crab adopts and wears and changes many times throughout his decades long lifetime helps him in several ways. The hermit crab has a very delicate abdomen that is protected by the shell. Without this shell, his abdomen could become punctured very easily and the crab would die. The hermit crab also carries water in his shell to keep the abdomen moist. If it were to dry out, again, the hermit crab would die. The crab balances the salinity of the water within his shell by accessing fresh or salt water as needed. The shell is also his shelter, and protects him from predators. The ideal fitting shell will allow the hermit crab to pull fully inside and to block off the opening with his large pincer.
How do you know if hermit crab sheds?
