Question

The maximum number of
electrons in the Mand N
energy level of an atom are​

Answer 1

Answer:

Maximum number of electrons that can be present in M and N shells are 8,18 respectively.

M shell corresponds to n=3. So, 2n

2

and total 18 electrons are possible in M shell.

N shell corresponds to n=4. It has 4s, 4p and 4d subshells. s subshell has 2 electrons, p subshell has 6 electrons and d subshell has 10 electrons. . So, 2n

2

total 32 electrons are possible in N shell.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In M shell = 18

In N shell =32
