The maximum number of electrons present in the each shell can be calculated by the following equation ,
Maximum number of electron in each shell = 2n^2
Where,
n – Shell number
For example if the shell number is 1 , the maximum number of electron present in the first ‘K ’ shell is 2(1)^2=2 .If the shell number is 2 , the maximum number of electron present in the second‘ L’ shell is 2 ( 2 )^ 2 = 8 .
If the atoms have 8 electrons in their outer most electron shell , atoms are more stable, and first electron shell is also more stable with two electrons.

Formula for calculating the number of electrons in a orbit ( e.g. K,L,M,N)
is 2n²
For example if n = 1
electrons = 2x1=2
n = 2
electrons = 8
is 2n²
For example if n = 1
electrons = 2x1=2
n = 2
electrons = 8
