Solution

Bohr-Bury Scheme-

  • The distribution of electrons in the energy levels is given with the help of the Bohr Bury scheme, which is mentioned below.
  • The energy levels or energy shells are filled in order of increasing energies.
  • The maximum number of electrons in any shell is given as 2n2, where n is the number of shell.
  • First the inner shells are completely filled then only the filling of new shells starts.

Hence, The maximum number of electrons in any shell is given by the formula 2n2.
