Question
Magnesium atoms has 12 electrons. Which energy shell is incomplete?
Solution
There are 12 electrons in an atom of magnesium. K-shell contains 2 electrons and L-shell contains 8 electrons. Thus K and L-shell are full. Remaining 2 electrons (12-2-8 = 2) are accommodated in third or M-shell. M-shell can accommodate 18 electrons. So M-shell is incomplete.
