Correct Answer: 18


Solution : The correct answer is 18 .

A precise circular path known as the shell is followed by electrons as they orbit the nucleus. The shells are either designated alphabetically with letters beginning with K (K, L, M, etc.) or according to the primary quantum numbers (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Only a certain number of electrons can fit inside each shell. According to the formula, the nth shell has a theoretical maximum capacity of 2n² electrons. Based on this formula, the M shell can hold a maximum of 18 electrons.
