The Allegory of the Cave. The dialogue between Socrates and Glaucon is probably fictitious and composed by Plato; whether or not the allegory originated with Socrates, or if Plato is using his mentor as a stand-in for his own idea, is unclear. In the dialogue, Socrates asks Glaucon to imagine a cave, in which prisoners are kept.
The d sublevel consists of five orbitals that can hold a maximum of  two electrons each. The total maximum number of electrons that the  d sublevel can hold is 10 electrons.
Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on.The general formula is that the n th shell can in principle hold up to 2(n2) electrons.he first elements to have more than 32 electrons in one shell would belong to the g-block of period 8 of the periodic table. These elements would have some electrons in their 5g subshell and thus have more than 32 electrons in the O shell (fifth principal shell).
