Maximum electron holding capacity -
2n²
For first orbit - 2(1)²= 2
For second orbit - 2(2)²= 8
For third orbit - 2(3)²= 18
Total = 2+8+18 = 28 electrons
But, this is not practically possible. According to new digramatic scheme, different orbits are filled differentlymSo, practically only 18 can be filled in them.The next would go into the fourth orbit.

number of electrons in an orbit= 2n²
n is the number of orbits.
so,2(3)² = 18 is the maximum electron holding capacity.
