How are Electrons Distributedin Different Orbits (Shells)? |
|
Answer» The distribution of electrons in different shells of an atom is termed as its Electronic Configuration. Every nth shell (orbit) can accommodate a maximum of 2n² electrons.Thus, the maximum number of electrons that first shell can have is 2, second can have is 8 and so on. Also, the shells or orbits are filled in order 1,2,3,....... An outermost orbit cannot have more than 8 electrons in it. |
