Question

As fourth energy level contains 32 electrons but fourt period only contains 18 elements. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

After the filling of 4s orbital, instead of 4p orbitals, there starts the filling 3d orbitals. This is in keeping with the fact that 3d orbitals have less energies than 4p orbitals. Thus 10 elements are built up by the filling of 3d orbitals. ... Hence the fourth period consists up of 18 and not 8 elements.
