BOHR’S MODEL OF ATOM
How are Electrons Distributed in Different Orbits (Shells)?
(i)   The maximum number of electrons present in a shell is given by the formula 2n2, where ‘n’ is the orbit number or energy level index, 1,2,3,….
Hence the maximum number of electrons in different shells are asfollows:
           first orbit or K-shell will be = 2 X 12 = 2,
           second orbit or L-shell will be = 2 X 22= 8,
          third orbit or M-shell will be = 2 X 32 = 18,
          fourth orbit or N-shell will be = 2 X 42= 32, and so on.
(ii) The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost orbit is 8.
(ii)  Electrons are not accommodated in a given shell, unless the inner shells are filled. That is, the shells are filled in a step-wise manner.
