Explanation:
According to Pauli's exclusion principle, each orbital can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons. Thus, 16 orbitals can accommodate a maximum of 32 electrons. Hence, the sixth period of the periodic table should have 32 elements.

Answer:
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
