Brief Explanations

In the Bohr model, electron - shells are labeled as K, L, M, etc. starting from the innermost shell. Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons. The innermost shell (K - shell) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second shell (L - shell) can hold a maximum of 8 electrons, and the remaining 2 electrons go to the third shell (M - shell).

Answer:

The innermost shell: K - shell
The second shell: L - shell
The outermost shell: M - shell
