Question

Name the shell of an atom which can accommodate a maximum of (a) 2 electrons? (b) 18 electrons?

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) k shell and (b) m shell is the answer

Answer 2

K shell can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons; (b) m shell can accommodate 18 electrons.

Explanation:

• Electrons can be found revolving around the nucleus in an atom’s orbitals/shells. As shown in the image below, there can be only two electrons in shell one. In the second shell, there can be only eight electrons. In the third shell of the first eighteen elements, there can be only a maximum of eight electrons.
• There are elements with more than eighteen electrons. These electrons can hold more than eight electrons. Once any of these shells are filled, they can move to another shell.
