We know the maximum number of the electrons that can be hold by the shell is given by the formula 2n².
∴ Number of Electrons that can be Possibly hold = 2n²
Here, n is the number of the shells.
∴ 32 = 2n²
n² = 16
n = √16
n = 4
Hence, the number of the shells is 4.
Hence, Option 3. (4 shells) is correct.
Hope it helps.
