उत्तर
(a) Electrons revolve around the nucleus in imaginary paths called shells or orbits. Shells start from the nucleus to outwards.
Rules: The maximum number of electrons in a shell is given by 2n2. Where n is the number of shell i.e. 1st shell can have a maximum of 2 electrons.
2n2 = 2(1)2 = 2 × 1 = 2
2nd shell can have maximum of 8 electrons
2n2 = 2(2)2 = 2 × 4 = 8
3rd shell can have maximum of 18 electrons
2n2 = 2 (3)2 = 2 × 9 = 18 and so on….
(b) Outer most orbit cannot have more than 8 electrons and 18 in penultimate orbit.
(c) A new shell cannot start until previous is filled completely.
