It is the f sublevel. Uranium has the configuration [Rn] 5f3 6d1 7s2.
One electron occupies the highest energy sublevel of alkali metals. Alkali metals have one electron in their outermost energy level, making them highly reactive.
The maximum number of spins possible in a given sublevel is equal to the number of electrons that can occupy that sublevel, which is determined by the maximum number of electrons allowed in that sublevel based on the electron configuration rules (2 electrons per orbital). The total number of spins will be equal to twice the number of electrons in that sublevel.
In nitrogen, which has three electrons in its 2p sublevel, the Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers. To minimize electron-electron repulsion and maximize stability, these three electrons occupy separate orbitals within the 2p sublevel, each with parallel spins. This arrangement, known as Hund's rule, leads to a lower energy configuration and greater overall stability for the atom.
The valence electrons in group 2 elements are found in the s sublevel. These elements are known as alkaline earth metals and have 2 valence electrons, which occupy the s sublevel of their outermost electron shell.
SPDF levels refer to the four sublevels in an electron shell: s, p, d, and f. These sublevels represent the different types of orbitals that electrons can occupy within an energy level. The s sublevel can hold up to 2 electrons, the p sublevel can hold up to 6 electrons, the d sublevel can hold up to 10 electrons, and the f sublevel can hold up to 14 electrons.
In uranium 238, the highest sublevel electron occupies is the 5f sublevel. Uranium has 92 electrons, so filling up the electron configuration involves reaching the 5f sublevel before completing the entire orbital diagram.
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.
The F-Sub level
One electron occupies the highest energy sublevel of alkali metals. Alkali metals have one electron in their outermost energy level, making them highly reactive.
The maximum number of spins possible in a given sublevel is equal to the number of electrons that can occupy that sublevel, which is determined by the maximum number of electrons allowed in that sublevel based on the electron configuration rules (2 electrons per orbital). The total number of spins will be equal to twice the number of electrons in that sublevel.
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.
The elements in period 4 that have electrons in the 3d sublevel are elements 21 - 36. Refer to the Related Links for a printable periodic table that includes electron configurations.
In nitrogen, which has three electrons in its 2p sublevel, the Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers.

The valence electrons in group 2 elements are found in the s sublevel. These elements are known as alkaline earth metals and have 2 valence electrons, which occupy the s sublevel of their outermost electron shell.

The s sublevel can hold up to 2 electrons, the p sublevel can hold up to 6 electrons, the d sublevel can hold up to 10 electrons, and the f sublevel can hold up to 14 electrons.
There are a total of six electrons that occupy the p orbital of a neutral silicon atom. The p sublevel can hold a maximum of six electrons, with each p orbital accommodating two electrons with opposite spins.
The 4s sublevel is completed by the element calcium, which has an atomic number of 20. In the electron configuration of calcium, the 4s sublevel is filled after the 3p sublevel, resulting in the configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s². Therefore, the completion of the 4s sublevel occurs when two electrons occupy it.
