Each element is detailed with the name, symbol and number of electrons in each shell. The colour scheme is designed to match that used : 21:16, 1 April 2007: 4,213 × 2,980 (4.57 MB) GregRobson == Summary == * '''Description:''' Diagram showing the periodic table of elements in the form of their electron shells.
No known element has more than 32 electrons in any one shell. [25] [26] This is because the subshells are filled according to the Aufbau principle. The first elements to have more than 32 electrons in one shell would belong to the g-block of period 8 of the periodic table. These elements would have some electrons in their 5g subshell and thus ...
The valence electrons (here 3s 2 3p 3) are written explicitly for all atoms. Electron configurations of elements beyond hassium (element 108) have never been measured; predictions are used below. As an approximate rule, electron configurations are given by the Aufbau principle and the Madelung rule .
Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on.
This gives two electrons in an s subshell, six electrons in a p subshell, ten electrons in a d subshell and fourteen electrons in an f subshell. The numbers of electrons that can occupy each shell and each subshell arise from the equations of quantum mechanics, [ a ] in particular the Pauli exclusion principle , which states that no two ...

Furthermore, electrons obey the Pauli exclusion principle: different electrons must always be in different states. This allows classification of the possible states an electron can take in various energy levels known as shells, divided into individual subshells, which each contain one or more orbitals.
[citation needed] Accounting for two states of spin, each n-shell can accommodate up to 2n 2 electrons. In a simplistic one-electron model described below, the total energy of an electron is a negative inverse quadratic function of the principal quantum number n, leading to degenerate energy levels for each n > 1.
