2(n squared) is the formula for maximum number of electrons per principle quantum number (or energy level) therefore
1st is 2 (only has s subshell)
2nd is 8 (has s and p subshells)
3rd is 18 (has s,p, and d subshells)
4th is 32 (has s,p,d, and f subshells)
5th is 50 (has s,p,d,f and g subshells)
6th is 72 (has s,p,d,f,g, and h subshells)
7th is 98 (has s,p,d,f,g,h, and i subshells)
Now electons do not fill shells entirely but rather in a pattern filling lower, more stable energies first.
s carries 2 electrons, p orbitals max out at 6, d maxes out at 10, f at 14, g at 18, h at 22, and the i subshells can hold up to 26 electrons.

How many possible electrons can be held in the n=8 energy level?

maximum number of electron in the outermost shell = 2*n^2
with n as the number of the shell

What's the accepted quantum number for the fourth quantum shell

depends on the number of nucleons and ionization potential. from there, electron configutation levels can be determined. remember,, the outer shell can contain a maximum of 8 electrons for monatomic elements. compounds can be more challenging.

s level - 2
p level - 6
d level -10
f level - 14
each of these sublevels has orbitals which hold 2 e- each. s has 1, p has 3, d has 5, and f has 7. the numbers that go before these are the levels.

how can we find that?
I mean what is the way to find it?
Thanx
