describe the relationship between electrons in sublevels and the
length of each period in the periodic table
Because there are four different energy
sublevels (s, p, d, and f), the periodic table
is divided into four distinct blocks

describe the relationship between electrons in sublevels and the
length of each period in the periodic table
Think : going left to right in the periodic table

describe the relationship between electrons in sublevels and the
length of each period in the periodic table
How many electrons can every The length of each subshell = the
subshell hold at its maximum? maximum number of electrons that
can be held by the sublevel
10
So the length of (d)

describe the relationship between electrons in sublevels and the
length of each period in the periodic table
How many electrons can every The length of each period = the total
subshell in every period hold at number of electrons that can occupy
its maximum? the sublevels in that period.
