Question

the maximum number of electrons in the second shell can be 8 it is true or false​

Answer 1

Answer:

true

Explanation:

in second shell the maximum number of electrons are 8

Answer 2

Yes, it's true that the maximum number of electrons in the second shell is 8.

Some Extra Information:-

The maxiumum number of electrons which can be put in a particular shell or energy level was given by Bohr and Bury. according to Bohr-Bury scheme:-

The maximum number of electrons which can be accomodated in any energy level [shell] of the atom is given by 2n² [where 'n' is the number of that shell or energy level]

(i) For 1st energy level or shell, n = 1

So, maximum no of electrons = 2n²

= 2(1)²

= 2

(ii) For 2nd energy level or shell, n = 2

So, maximum no of electrons = 2n²

= 2(2)²

= 8

(iii) For 3rd energy level or shell, n = 3

So, maximum no of electrons = 2n²

= 2(3)²

= 18

(iv) For 4th energy level or shell, n = 4

So, maximum no of electrons = 2n²

= 2(4)²

= 32
