Question

on basis of quantum number justify that the sixth period of periodic table should have 32 elements
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In the sixth period (n = 6) of the periodic table, 6s, 4f, 5d and 6p orbitals are filled in the increasing order of the energy. Total 16 orbitals are available each of which contains a maximum 2 electrons. Thus, the sixth period can accommodate maximum 32 elements.
