The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in the same system can exist simultaneously in the same state. The state of an electron is determined by three things:
Its energy level N
Its angular momentum L
and its spin S
The electron can only have a spin of +1/2 or -1/2, so there are only two states that an electron can be in for a given L and N.
The electron's angular momentum L depends on the state N that it is in. L must be an integer whose magnitude is less than N, so it can have (2N - 1) different states for a given N. (For example, if N = 2, L can equal -2, -1, 0, 1, 2).
The energy level N is also given as a (nonzero) positive integer (N can equal 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). In an element's ground state, EVERY SINGLE electron state must be filled. So an element with five electrons in the fourth energy level N, energy levels 1, 2, and 3 must be filled, and energy level 4 must have five electrons in it.
The number of electrons in energy level 1 is the number of spin states time the number of angular momentum states for the level N, that is 2 spin states times (2N-1) angular momentum states = 2
For energy level N = 1, the number of electrons can be 2 * (2N-1) = 2
For energy level N = 2, 2 * (2N-1) = 6
For N = 3, 2 * (2N-1) = 10.
So the first three energy levels, when filled, contain 2 + 6 +10 = 18 electrons. The fourth energy level has 5 electrons according to the question, so there must be 18 + 5 = 23 electrons in total.
The element with 23 electrons, or an "atomic number" of 23 is Vanadium.
The element that has 5 energy levels and is in group 2 of the periodic table is Calcium (Ca). It has 20 electrons in total, with 2 in the first energy level and 8 each in the second and third energy levels, and 2 in the fourth energy level.
An element with two energy levels can have a maximum of 8 electrons. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, while the second energy level can hold up to 6 electrons.
the element sodium has 1,000,000 million energy levels.
The color of the light emitted by an element heated within a flame is a physical characteristic, but this particular physical characteristic is itself determined by a chemical characteristic: the distribution of electron energy levels within the element.
The neutral atom with the specified electron configuration has 10 electrons in total. This atom is neon (symbol: Ne), which has a total of 10 electrons and has its first two energy levels filled with 2 and 8 electrons, respectively, while the third energy level contains 6 electrons.
This element is likely phosphorus (P), which has 15 electrons in total. With 5 electrons in the second energy level, phosphorus has 2 energy levels: the first energy level with 2 electrons and the second energy level with 5 electrons.
The rows (periods) work out to be the energy levels, ex. if an element is in period 5, it has 5 energy levels.
There are 73 energy levels in the element tantalum.
The element that has 5 energy levels and is in group 2 of the periodic table is Calcium (Ca). It has 20 electrons in total, with 2 in the first energy level and 8 each in the second and third energy levels, and 2 in the fourth energy level.

What has three energy levels and six valence electrons
What has three energy levels and six valence electrons
The element is likely lithium (Li). Lithium has 3 electron energy levels (shells) and 3 valence electrons in its outermost energy level.
The element carbon
Arsenic has 8 levels of energy.
The element's period indicates the number of energy levels or electron shells that its electrons occupy. Each period corresponds to a new energy level being filled by electrons. Moving from left to right across a period, the number of energy levels increases by one as you go from one element to the next.
This element is likely chlorine (Cl), which has 7 valence electrons and 3 filled energy levels with a partially filled 4th energy level.
