The 4f subshell is being filled for the rare earth series of elements.
Fingers on a hand.
Einsteinium, Es, atom number 99, in the actinides and 'trans-uranides' group, 5f-blockElectron configuration: [Rn] 5f11 7s2Preceded by 98Ca, californium, with [Rn] 5f10 7s2
as a consequence of actinide contraction the radius of the metal atom decreases as the 5f electrons of the actinides are poorly shielded. (Due to this poor shielding it is more strongly attracted by the nuclear charge resulting in decreased radius)
It goes 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p... it goes according to the principal quantum number, l. the subshells (or energy levels) have corresponding letters... 0th sublevel: s 1st sublevel: p 2nd sublevel: d 3rd sublevel: f 4th: g 5th: h 6th: i etc. usually, we dont use energy levels above the f subshell.

Neptunium is a chemical element with the symbol Np and atomic number 93.A radioactive metallic element, neptunium is the first transuranic element and belongs to the group of the actinide series (Period VII, 5f-block). Uranium(92) is its predecessor.
Actinium is in period 7, group 3A : so 7s2 is the highest sublevel of this first 5f-block element the actinides (89-103).

No. Uranium (92U) is the 4th elements in th actinide-group, this is the 5f block (configuration: [Rn] 5f3 6d1 7s2) All but one of the actinides are f-block elements, corresponding to the filling of the 5f electron shell; lawrencium, a d-block element, is also generally considered an actinide
The number of electrons in the lowest electron shellis2 in the first or K shell (subshell 1s)---For other shells, the maximum is determined by the formula 2n2:2) 8 in the L shell (subshells 2s, 2p)3) 18 in the M shell (subshells 3s, 3p, 3d)4) 32 in the N shell (subshells 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f)5) 50 in the O shell (subshells 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f, 5g*)6) 72 in the P shell (subshells 6s, 6p, 6d, 6f, 6g, and an unnamed subshell)7) 98 in the Q shell (subshells 7s, 7p, 7d, 7f, 7g, and two unnamed subshells)* the highest existing subshells are 5f, 6d, and 7s* the highest currently predicted subshells are 7p and 8s* no existing element has more than 32 electrons in any shellThe maximum per subshell is determined by the formula 2(2L+1) (s is 0):s subshells can have 2 electronsp subshells can have 6 electronsd subshells can have 10 electronsf subshells can have 14 electronsg subshells can have 18 electrons*There are no elements with electrons past the f subshell, so the shells with 22 and 26 electrons have no name. The largest element created (Roentgenium, element 111) has 2 electrons in the 7s shell.
e = 5f f = e/5
5F stands for 5 Francs, the currency of France before the conversion to the Euro.
Fingers on a hand.
It then is: 5f
