Summarise the rules for writing the distribution of electrons in various shells for the first eighteen elements.

The distribution of elements in different orbits is governed by a scheme called Bohr- Bury scheme.

There are following rules :

  • The maximum number of electrons present in any shell is given by the formula 2n2 Where n = no. of orbit.
  • The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the outermost shell is 8.
  • Electrons in an atom do not occupy a new shell unless all the inner shells are completely filled.
