The correct answer is:
The maximum number of electrons in an orbit are . If , is not allowed, then the number of maximum electrons that can be in first four orbit are:
2(1)2 + 2(2)2 + 2(3)2 + 2(4)2 = 2 + 8 + 18 + 32 = 60
Therefore, possible elements can be 60.
2(1)2 + 2(2)2 + 2(3)2 + 2(4)2 = 2 + 8 + 18 + 32 = 60
Therefore, possible elements can be 60.
