How many electrons fit in each shell around an atom?
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a specific energy level can be found using the following formula:
Electron Capacity = 2n2
The variable n represents the Principal Quantum Number, the number of the energy level in question.
Energy Level
(Principal Quantum Number) Shell Letter Electron Capacity
1 K 2
2 L 8
3 M 18
4 N 32
5 O 50
6 P 72
Keep in mind that an energy level need not be completely filled before electrons begin to fill the next level. You should always use the Periodic Table of Elements to check an element's electron configuration table if you need to know exactly how many electrons are in each level.
To find the ratio of the the combination for the ion, write the charge of the cation as the subscript for the anion, and the charge of the anion as the subscript of the cation. This will make the charges effectively cancel and you will be left with a neutral ionic compound. Remember, that an ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal.
For Ca2+ and Cl-, you will get the neutral compound to be CaCl₂.
Answer:
the mass number is the number of protons and neutrons added and the average atomic mass is the weight of the protons and neutrons
