Per the data I have the shells need to have their full complement of electrons 
before another shell is formed, but looking at the Periodic Table it shows 
electrons forming a new shell before the previous one is complete.  EX. Colbolt
K-shell (2) L-Shell (8) M-Shell (15) N-Shell (2) Why didn't the M shell 
complete?
