Lyman's series
Correct. Filled energy sublevels have electrons occupying all available orbitals within the sublevel, while partially filled sublevels have some orbitals unfilled. This is a result of the rules governing electron configuration in atoms.
In the element krypton, the third energy level has 3 sublevels: s, p, and d. The s and p sublevels are filled first before the d sublevel. This means that in krypton, the 4s and 4p sublevels are filled, while the 4d sublevel remains empty.
Stable electron configurations are most likely to contain filled energy levels or filled subshells. These configurations generally follow the octet rule or duet rule, depending on the element. Additionally, stable electron configurations may contain configurations with a full valence shell of electrons.
Exceptions to the aufbau principle occur due to the repulsion between electrons in the same orbital. This can cause certain elements to have lower energy by placing an electron in a higher energy orbital. Additionally, electron-electron interactions and exchange energy play a role in determining the actual electron configurations of some elements.
All the noble elements to the far right of the periodic table have their s and P sublevels in their valence shell filled, hence they are nonreactive.

The first 3 energy levels are filled, the 4s and 4p and 4d sublevels are filled, and the 5s and 5p sublevels are also filled. So only the first three energy levels are completely filled. The fourth and fifth energy levels are partly filled. The electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s25p6 or [Kr]4d105s25p6.
Each electron occupies the lowest energy orbital. Orbitals related to energy level are of equal energy.
s orbital for helium and p orbitals for other noble gases.

Energy-favorable states for the d sublevel occur when it is half-filled or fully-filled with electrons. This is because half-filled and fully-filled d sublevels have lower overall energy due to electron-electron repulsions being minimized. Additionally, these configurations result in greater stability and lower energy.
All the noble elements to the far right of the periodic table have their s and P sublevels in their valence shell filled, hence they are nonreactive.
There are 8 elements in a period in which only the s and p sublevels are filled. This is because the s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons and the p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, totaling 8 electrons in total if both sublevels are filled.
The outermost s sublevel of the representative elements is filled first, followed by the p sublevel. This results in the outermost electron configuration being in the s and p sublevels.
Metals with their s and d sublevels partially filled are in transition metals group. For example, in the 4th period, scandium (Sc) has the electron configuration [Ar] 3d1 4s2 with partially filled 3d and filled 4s sublevels.
