Guide me about the maximum no of electrons in N,O,P & Q shells
Keep in mind these basic concepts about electron shells
1-Electrons are arranged around the nucleus in the orbit, so that their orbits formed a shell which is called as electron shell.
2-Electron shell also called as electron orbital. It looks like mini plants orbiting a central sun. Electron shells are numbered from inner most shell to outer most shell from the nucleus.
3-The electron shell is labels as K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q in alphabets or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in numbers from inner most shell to outer shell. Inner shell must fill completely before electrons can be added to an outer shell.
The maximum number of electrons present in the each shell can be calculated by the following equation.
Maximum number of electron in each shell = 2(n)2
Where,
n=Shell number
For example if the shell number is 1, the maximum number of electron present in the first ‘K’ shell is 2(1) 2 = 1. If the shell number if 2, the maximum number of electron present in the first ‘L’ shell is 2 (2) 2 = 8.
The maximum numbers of electrons that can occupy a specific energy level are,
Shell Number (Shell letter)
Maximum no of Electrons in each Shell 2(n)2
1 (K)------>2 (1) 2 = 2
2 (L)------->2 (2) 2 = 8
3 (M)------>2 (3) 2 = 18
4 (N)------>2 (4) 2 = 32
5 (O)------>2 (5) 2 = 50
6 (P)------->2 (6) 2 = 72
Each shell contains one or more sub shell s, p, d, and f and it has fixed number of electrons 2, 6, 10, 14 respectively, and each sub shell contains one or more atomic orbitals.
