In the sixth period, the orbitals that are filled are

  1. 6s, 5f, 6d, 6p
  2. 6s, 6p, 6d, 6f
  3. 6s, 5d, 5f, 6p
  4. 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p

Correct answer: 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p

Solution

By the Aufbau order, period 6 fills the 6s, then 4f, then 5d, and finally 6p subshells. So the orbitals filled in the sixth period are 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p.
