The maximum electrons holding capacity in M orbit is 2n 2 = 2 × 3 2 = 18. The maximum electron holding capacity in L orbit is 2n 2 = 2 × 2 2 = 8. The maximum electron holding capacity in K orbit is 2n 2 = 2 × 1 2 = 2. The electron holding capacity of each orbit is 2n 2.

K is the name of the first orbit, L is the second, M is the third, and N is the name of the fourth orbit. These circular paths are called orbit(shell). The electrons of the atom revolve around the nucleus in a certain circular path. The complete idea of the orbit is given there. Scientist Niels Bohr was the first to give an idea of the atom’s orbit. For example Aufbau principle, Hund’s principle, and Pauli’s exclusion principle.

I also discussed how to draw and write an orbital diagram of oxygen. In this article, I have discussed in detail how to easily write the complete electron configuration of oxygen. Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table and its symbol is ‘O’.
