<prompt> Ke palo e phahameng ka ho fetisisa ea lielektrone tse ka nkang khetla ea boraro ea athomo e kae?nan  <response>: Instruction in English: What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the third shell of an atom? . Response in English: The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the third shell n3 of an atom is 18. This can be determined using the formula 2n2, where n is the principal quantum number or the energy level of the shell. For the third shell n3, the maximum number of electrons is calculated as 2 x 32 18. . Response in Sesotho: Palo e phahameng ea lielektrone tse ka nkang khetla ea boraro n3 ea athomo ke 18. Sena se ka khethoa ho sebelisoa foromo ea 2n2, moo n e leng palo e ka sehloohong ea quantum kapa boemo ba matla ba khetla. Bakeng sa khetla ea boraro n 3, palo e kholo ea li-electrone e baloa e le 2 x 32 18.
