Electrons move from the third shell to the fourth shell of an atom when they absorb energy, typically in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as light. This energy excites the electrons, allowing them to overcome the energy barrier between the shells. Once the energy is absorbed, the electrons can transition to higher energy levels, occupying the fourth shell. When they lose energy, they can return to lower shells, emitting light or heat in the process.

What is the numbers of electrons in each shell?
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.
Is the third shell full?
First shell has 2 electrons. Next shell has 8 electrons. The third shell has 18 but scientist say 8 so they don't confuse graphs.

How many electrons does krypton have in each electron shell?
how many energy levels are filled in a krypton atom They have four levels. You always put 2 in the first. 8 in the second. 18 in the third. And I believe you are able to put 36 in the fourth level, but correct me if I'm wrong about the fourth level.
