If elements with principal quantum number n greater than four were not allowed in nature, then number of elements would be:

Answer»

60
32
4
64

Solution :Upto QUANTUM NUMBER 4, an ATOM has K,L,M and N shells..
Maximum number of electrons in a SHELL `=2n^(2)`
Thus, there are 2 electrons in K-shell (n=1)
and 8 electron in L-shell (n=2)
18 electron in L-shell (n=2)
18 electron in M- shell (n=3)
and 32 electron in N-shell (n=4)
Total number of electrons =2+8+18+32=60
