Maximum number of electrons that can be ...

Maximum number of electrons that can be present in N shell is ______

A

18

B

32

C

2

D

8

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
N-shell `implies` n = 4
We know that, maximum number of electrons present in an orbit `= 2n^2`
= No. of electrons in .N. shell `= 2 xx 4^2 = 2 xx 16 = 32`

  • The maximum number of the electrons which are permitted to be assigned to an energy shell of an atom is called the electron capacity of that shell. The distribution of electrons in different orbits or shell is governed by a scheme known as Bohr-Bury scheme. According to this scheme : (I) The maximum number of the electrons that can be present in any shell is given by the formula 2n^(2) where, n is the number of energy level. (II) The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost shell is 8. Electrons are filled in the shells in a stepwise manner in increasing order of energy of the energy shell.
