Write the formula to accommodate maximum number of electrons in a shell. How many electrons can be accommodated in “L” and “M” Shell?
Answers
Answer:-
The first shell, or energy level, is the K shell, followed by the L shell, the M shell, and so on. With each principal quantum number of n, the KLMN notations represent the total number of electrons. which is the shell number. Thus L shell can accommodate a maximum number of 8 electrons.

The formula to accommodate maximum number of electrons in a shell is 2n²
n: number of orbit/shell
the number for L and M are 2 and 3 respectively.
∴number of electron that can be accommodated in L shell = 2(2)²
= 8 e⁻s
number of electron that can be accommodated in M shell = 2(3)²
=18 e⁻s
