    If elements with principal quantum number \[n\] > 4 were not allowed in nature, then the number of possible elements would be

    A)  32            

    B)  60

    C)  18            

    D)  4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     If all the elements having\[n>4\]are removed the number of elements that will be present in the periodic table are calculated as: \[n=1\]represents K shell and the number of elements having\[K\]shell \[=2\] \[[2{{n}^{2}}]\] \[n=2\]represents L shell and the number of elements having L shell\[=8\] \[n=3\]represents M shell and the number of elements having M shell =18 \[n=4\]represents N shell and the number of elements having N shell\[=32\] So the total number of elements having\[n<5\]are \[2+8+18+32=60\]
