Answer 2

Hello!!!

Your answer is:

By the formula 2n², we can determine the maximum number of electrons in a shell, where n is the position (number) of shell.

Eg: In first shell, we have 2 × 1² = 2 electrons as the maximum limit.

Similarly in third shell, we have:

2 × 3² = 2 × 9 = 18 electrons as the maximum limit.

Thus a maximum of 18 electrons can be contained in the third shell

Or

The third shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.

Hope my answer helps!!!
