Other contributors have said "What are the first three shells called of the atomic struture?" is the same question as "Is the first electron shell called the L shell?" If you believe that these are not asking the same thing and should be answered differently, click here
No, its called the K, then the L is after it and then the M and so on. On the periodic table, the period an element is in is how many electron shells it has.
the formula for finding out the maximum number of electrons is dependent upon (2n2). n represents the shell, K,L,M,N,O, etc. So if the K shell is the question K is the innermost shell and is...
It depends what electronic state it's found in, but in it's ground state (natural form) it has two electrons in the first shell, eight in the second and none in the third. This is because it has an...
