How many elements are there in 6th period? Prove it.

Answer»

In sixth period, 32 elements are present. This period starts with the filling of 6th energy shell, n = 6. There are sixteen orbitais (one 6s, seven 4f, five 4d and three 6p) to be filled. These sixteen orbitais can accommodate 32 (16 × 2 = 32) electrons. 

Hence, 32 elements are present in sixth period.
