Question
Explain the rule with example according to which electrons are filled in various energy levels
Advertisements
Solution
The maximum number of electrons that can be present in any shell or orbit of an atom is given by the formula 2n2, where n is the serial number of the shell.
Therefore:
K shell, n = 1, no. of electrons = 2 x 12 = 2
L shell, n = 2, no. of electrons = 2 x 22 = 8
M shell, n = 3, no. of electrons = 2 x 32 = 18
N shell, n = 4, no. of electrons = 2 x 42= 32
Electrons are not accommodated in a given shell, unless the inner shells are filled.
That is, the shells are filled in a stepwise manner
