MCQ
For an element with atomic number $19$, the $19$th electron will occupy:
A
$L-$shell
✓
$M-$shell
C
$N-$shell
D
$K-$shell
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$M-$shell
Atomic number $= 19$
Electrons per shell $⟶ 2, 8, 9$
Maximum Electrons in $K = 2$
Maximum Electrons in $L = 8$
Maximum Electrons in $M = 18$
$\therefore 19$th electron will occupy $M−$shell.
