If elements with a principal quantum numbern>4were not allowed in nature, the number of possible elements would be

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The maximum number of electrons in an orbit are2n2. Ifn>4, is not allowed, then the number of maximum electrons that can be in first four orbit are:

2(1)2+ 2(2)2+ 2(3)2+ 2(4)2= 2 + 8 + 18 + 32 = 60

Therefore, possible elements can be 60.
