Yes that is wrong. Let´s see if I can help you out some. You know the different designations of the electron configuration right? (K, L, M, N). K can only contain two atoms and fill up first. L can contain 8 electrons. After that the difficulty starts. You´re not studying quantum mechanics are you? I´ll just skip the theory for that lol [img]smile.gif[/img] . M can actually contain 18 electrons. BUT first it contains 8, then N gets 2 electrons. After that you can start to fill M again up to 18 BEFORE you add to N (this is called the aufbau model. So your example would be
