Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell with n=3?
  • Step 1: Understand that 'n' represents the shell number in an atom.
  • Step 2: Identify the formula to calculate the maximum number of electrons in a shell, which is 2n^2.
  • Step 3: Substitute the value of n into the formula. Here, n = 3.
  • Step 4: Calculate 3 squared (3^2), which equals 9.
  • Step 5: Multiply the result by 2. So, 2 * 9 = 18.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell with n=3 is 18.
