Question

How to find number of elements in a period by the number of orbitals in that period?

Answer 1

Answer:

All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rule to determine the total number of elements in a period [closed] If each orbital can take maximum of 3 electrons, then total number of elements in 2nd and 4th periods respectively are = ? I am not aware of the rule which helps to determine the total number of elements in a perio
