Vedclass · Answer

(C) The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell is given by $2n^2$. Since each element corresponds to the filling of an orbital,the number of elements in a period is equal to the number of electrons that can be accommodated in the shell being filled. For the $6^{th}$ period,the orbitals being filled are $6s, 4f, 5d,$ and $6p$. The total number of orbitals is $1 + 7 + 5 + 3 = 16$. Since each orbital holds $2$ electrons,the maximum number of elements in the $6^{th}$ period is $16 	imes 2 = 32$.
