Explain why the 2n^2 formula is not used from the beginning like 2, 8, 10. I mean why is the electronic configuration of calcium (for example) 2,8,8,2 and not 2,8,10? Please answer as soon as possible.

Answer:

K denotes the first shell (or energy level), L the second shell, M, the third shell, and so on. In other words, the KLMN(OP) notation only indicates the number of electrons an atom has with each principal quantum number (n). The SPDF notation subdivides each shell into its subshells.
