The given blank can be filled with two electrons.

The K, L, M, N are the four shells in an atom. The K shell is the initial that is present nearest to the nucleus of the atom, and it comprises two electrons. The L shell can withstand eight electrons, M shell can withstand eighteen electrons, and however, the atom attains stability if the last (valence) shell comprises eight electrons.
