Answer 1

maximum number of electrons in an atom having 4 orbits is 8
1 orbital contain maximum 2 electron

Answer 2

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula 2n square , where n= shell number .

We find that 4 shells in an atom will have electronic configuration as following: 2,8,8,18 , hence adding them all 2+8+8+18=36 .

You find that Atom with 4 shells can have at maximum 36 electrons .

Element with 36 electron is Krypton .
