Talk:Electron shell
i think the matter is wrong
Kind of confusing/self-contradictory[change source]
"The number of electrons that can be in a shell is equal to {\displaystyle 2n^{2}} {\displaystyle 2n^{2}}." This should mean the shells are 2 8 18 32, but later is says 2 6 10 14 18. It sounds like this may depend on the row "second and third periods" or column "noble gasses" "transition metals", but it doesn't say anything about the orbitals of other rows/columns.
The whole subshell thing could be better explained too.

- 2 8 18 32 is the full shell, 2 6 10 14 18 is the subshell. 118.200.89.114 (talk) 13:15, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
