Recall that the maximum number of electrons in a given energy level (shell) is determined by the formula \$2n^2$, where $n$ is the principal quantum number (energy level).
Identify the principal quantum number for the third energy level: \(n = 3\).
Substitute \(n = 3\) into the formula to find the maximum number of electrons: \(2 \times (3)^2\).
Calculate the value inside the parentheses first: \((3)^2 = 9\).
Multiply by 2 to get the maximum number of electrons in the third energy level: \(2 \times 9 = 18\).
