It is all to do with the Aufbau and Pauli exclusion principle. The best way to illustrate is to fill up a bus with single people. They will tend to fill the empty seats first and then start sitting two people to a seat. In the same way due to energy considerations, an orbital can only have a maximum of two spin paired electrons in it. Anymore is energetically unfavorable. The same is true with each energy level. Each one can only hold a certain maximum of electrons.
1 = 2
2 = 8
3 =18
4 = 32
So with iron which has 26 electrons, they need 4 energy levels to fit these electrons in.

Analyze the flow of energy through a food chain that contains four tropic levels?
Four tropic levels are very rare and are found only in tropical rainforests. Consider the first level which are grasses and green plants. They absorb sunlight. If they have 100% of the energy at these levels, the next level will only get 10% of that 100% as energy for their metabolic needs. This 10% will be the base for the next level. They will only get 10% of 10% for their energy needs. That is 1%. To have enough energy for the forth level, only 10% of 1% will be passed on. That is 0.001%. Not very many animals can live on that.

What has a larger atomic radius Cl ion or Ca ion?
Calcium has the larger atomic radius than chlorine. Calcium has four energy levels, whereas chlorine has three energy levels. The higher the energy level, the farther it is from the atomic nucleus.
Low serum iron is seen in?
Low iron levels can be seen in patients with anemia or chronic disease. Mostly people with chronic kidney disease will have low iron levels. Iron deficiency anemia is another condition with low iron levels. This can be treated with iron supplement. Fatigue and weakness is the most common symptoms people present when they have low serum iron levels.
How are principle energy levels and energy sub levels related?
Principal energy levels are an atom's major energy levels, ranging in value from 1 to 7. Energy sublevels are contained within principal energy levels, and their number increases as the value of the principal energy level increases.
