Question

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST How many electrons can be held in the energy level n = 4?

Answer 1

Answer:

32

Explanation:

Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2(n2) electrons.
