Distribution of electrons in Shells |
In this articles, today, onllogy is going to make you understand about the electrons distributed in different shells. Here, we explain the formula too , by which we calculate the number of electrons in the shells. so, let's start and have a look on it.
Distribution of electrons in Shells
There are four shells as we all know and the electrons present in these are are different i-e
1st shell (K
shell) = 2 electrons
2nd shell (L shell) = 8
electrons
3rd shell (M shell) = 16
electron
4th shell (N shell) = 32
electron
Formula for finding number of electron in a specific shell
The
Formula is 2n2 where n shows number of shell.
Finding number of electron in shell
- First Shell
The Formula is 2n2
2(1)2
2(1)
2
thus first shell accommodates 2
electron.
- Second Shell
The Formula is 2n2
2(2)2
2(4)
8
thus second shell accommodates 8
electron.
- Third Shell
The Formula is 2n2
2(3)2
2(8)
16
thus third shell accommodates 16
electron.
- Fourth Shell
The Formula
2n2
2(4)2
2(16)
32
thus fourth shell accommodates 32
electron.
