MCQ
For an element with atomic number 19, the 19th electron will occupy:
  • A
    L-shell
  • B
    M-shell
  • C
    N-shell
  • D
    K-shell

Answer

  1. M-shell

Explanation:

Atomic number = 19

Electrons per shell ⟶ 2, 8, 9

Maximum Electrons in K = 2

Maximum Electrons in L = 8

Maximum Electrons in M = 18

∴ 19th electron will occupy M−shell.
