Work Step by Step
In the theoretical periodic table, each row corresponds to the filling of a new principal energy level (shell) with electrons. Each shell can accommodate a certain number of electrons based on the types of orbitals available in that shell.
The s orbital can hold 2 electrons, the p orbital can hold 6 electrons, the d orbital can hold 10 electrons, and the f orbital can hold 14 electrons. The filling order of orbitals is s, p, d, and f.
If there were g and h orbitals after the f orbital, they would be part of higher principal energy levels. The g orbital would be the next to fill and could hold 18 electrons, and the h orbital would be the one after g and could hold 22 electrons.
