Question :
Summarise the rules for writing of distribution of electrons in various shells for the first eighteen elements. Submitted on 31/1/2024 | Answered by Vandana Rana
Answer :
The rules for distribution of electrons in various shells are:1. The maximum number of electrons present in a shell is given by the formula 2n², where 'n' is the orbit.
2. The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8.
3. Electrons are not accommodated in a new shell, unless the inner shells are filled. That is, the shells are filled in a step-wise manner.
