If the valence electrons are being added to the 4f orbitals, that means the element is lanthanides or actinides which further proves that the element is a heavy element and a member of f -block.

The maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals is 14.-pg. 110 Modern Chemistry table 2:)


How many electrons are in 4 f subshell?

Maximum capacity of electrons in f-orbitals is 14, so 4f orbitals may have 1 to 14 electrons.


Which orbitals are characteristics of the lanthanide elements?

Lanthanides are in the '4 f ' block (of the so-called 'secundairy transitionals', atom number 58 to 71) filling up 4f orbital (1 to 14 electrons)


How many 4f orbitals are in an atom?

some atoms have 5, some have none. the max is 5


What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the n equals 4 energy level?

there are 16 orbitals in a n=4 shell *since there are 2 electrons in each orbital, that makes 32 electrons total here


What is the highest sublevel electrons in the element Promethium an f block element occupy?

The highest sublevel that Promethium can have is 4f. It is possible for 14 electrons to be placed around Promethium, since the elements in this sublevel each have 7 orbitals.


How many subshells exist on energy level shell n plus equals 4?

for the case of n=4 the available orbitals include 1s 3p and 5d, a total of 9 electron orbitals which can occupy 18 electrons. There are 18 elements in the 4th row which coincides with the 9 available orbitals.


Which is having the greater shielding effect 4s 4p 4d and 4f?

the correct order is-4s>4p>4d>4f this is because of the shape of the orbitals


Which set of elements has electrons added to the 4f sublevel as the atomic number increases?

How many types of orbitals are in the sixth shell?

There are 36 types of orbitals in the sixth shell.


Which of the subshells in the electron configuration of Hf behave as core orbitals?

The subshells of 1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 4f act like core orbitals. This understanding of the configuration of the atom helps us to understand why electrons and atoms behave the way they do.
