The correct answer is:
$2 n^2$
The number of electrons in an orbit is obtained by $2 \times \mathrm{n}^2$, where $\mathrm{n}$ is the number of orbits.
For example: Number of electrons in K shell i.e., in $1^{\text {st }}$ orbit can be obtained as follows :-
Here $n=1$, by using $2 \times n^2$ we get maximum number of electrons in K-shell i.e., $1^{\text {st }}$ shell $=2$.
