Question

maximum number of electrons that can be occupied in 'L' shell is

Answer 1

Maximum number of electrons in a main shell is equal to 2n².

For L shell n=2

Therefore it can hold upto 8 electrons.

Answer 2

K=2. (n=1)

L=8. (n=2)

M=18. (n=3)

N=32. (n=4)

Equation=2×n^2

ie here L,n=2

ie 2×(2^2)=2×4=8
