The d suborbitals begin at period 4, but the d-sublevel is actually 3d. The first element is scandium, which has the atomic number of 21.
In the ground state of a chromium atom (atomic number 24), the electron configuration is [Ar] 3d^5 4s^1, with 5 electrons in the 3d sublevel and 1 electron in the 4s sublevel. This configuration is due to the stability achieved by half-filling the 3d sublevel before completely filling the 4s sublevel.
The elements Y (Yttrium) to Cd (Cadmium) are filling the 4d energy sublevel. This range includes the transition metals from Yttrium (atomic number 39) to Cadmium (atomic number 48), where the 4d orbitals are progressively filled with electrons.
Not necessarily. The atomic number is the same amount as the protons found in a certain element. remember that the number of protons are equal to the number of electrons as well. EX - Calcium's atomic number is 20 so therefore there are 20 protons and 20 electrons in the element. The atomic number also helps you find any valence electrons EX- oxygen's atomic number is 8 so you have 2 electrons filling the 1st orbital and 6 filling the 2 orbital. but the 2nd orbital is supposed to have 8 electron so there are 6 valence electrons.
The element in Period 4 that has two electrons in the p sublevel is germanium (Ge). It has the atomic number 32 and is located in group 14 of the periodic table. In its electron configuration, germanium has the outermost electrons in the 4s and 4p sublevels, with the 4p sublevel containing two electrons.
The next highest energy atomic sublevel after 4p is the 5s sublevel. In the electron configuration of an atom, energy levels increase with increasing principal quantum number (n), so the 5s sublevel is higher in energy than the 4p sublevel.
In the ground state of a chromium atom (atomic number 24), the electron configuration is [Ar] 3d^5 4s^1, with 5 electrons in the 3d sublevel and 1 electron in the 4s sublevel. This configuration is due to the stability achieved by half-filling the 3d sublevel before completely filling the 4s sublevel.
Argon is the last element in its period (period 3) because it fills the 3p sublevel, which can hold a maximum of six electrons. After argon, the next element, potassium, begins filling the 4s sublevel in the next period (period 4).
The elements Y (Yttrium) to Cd (Cadmium) are filling the 4d energy sublevel. This range includes the transition metals from Yttrium (atomic number 39) to Cadmium (atomic number 48), where the 4d orbitals are progressively filled with electrons.

In its electron configuration, germanium has the outermost electrons in the 4s and 4p sublevels, with the 4p sublevel containing two electrons.
The set of elements that has electrons added to the 4f sublevel as the atomic number increases are the lanthanide series elements, from cerium (Z = 58) to lutetium (Z = 71). The 4f sublevel can hold up to 14 electrons per element, hence as we move across this series, electrons are successively added to the 4f sublevel.
The element with atomic number 56 is barium, a group 2 alkaline earth metal. Its atoms have two valence electrons in the 6s sublevel.
The element cerium has a single electron in the 4f orbital. Its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f1 5d1 6s2.
The next highest energy atomic sublevel after 4p is the 5s sublevel. In the electron configuration of an atom, energy levels increase with increasing principal quantum number (n), so the 5s sublevel is higher in energy than the 4p sublevel.
