Question

Though shell M has the capacity to accommodate a maximum of 18 electrons it can accommodate only up to 8 number of electrons. This is for shell M. What happens for shell N?

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Dear}\mathrm{user}, \\ \mathrm{Electron}\mathrm{capacity}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{given}\mathrm{by}2{\mathrm{n}}^2,\mathrm{where}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{represents}\mathrm{principal} \\ \mathrm{quantum}\mathrm{number}.\mathrm{Therfore}, \\ \mathrm{For}\mathrm{N}\mathrm{shell},\mathrm{n}=4 \\ \mathrm{So}\mathrm{capacity}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{N}\mathrm{shell}\mathrm{is}32\mathrm{electrons}. \end{gathered}$$
