k has 2 nd l has 8 nd m has a capacity of 18....so u jus need 3 to accomodate 16 e's.....nd yeah capacaity of nth shell is n^2

Answer 3

it has 16 electrons...the electronic configuratio= 2,8,8= whch means has 3 shells

Answer 4

the answer is 3.
with 2,8 and 6 electrons respectively in the 3 shells/orbits.

Answer 5

@zaphod ,,the configuration is 2,8 and 6

Answer 6

i mean the electron configuration like =2,8,8,16...and so on..

Answer 7

ohh,, dats okay,, i thot u r talking abt sulphur
