Chemical elements of the fifth period

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The fifth period of the periodic table of the elements contains all chemical elements that have exactly five electron shells in the atom . The innermost (first) electron shell is fully occupied and has two electrons . The second electron shell with 8 electrons and the third electron shell with 18 electrons are also fully occupied. The fourth electron shell has at least eight electrons and can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. The outermost (fifth) electron shell, also called the valence shell , can hold between one and eight electrons. Thus there are a total of 18 chemical elements in the fifth period.
