The periodic table organize elements based on

The elements are arranged by their atomic number but are also grouped by what type of element they are.

For example, metals, non metals, metalloids, and noble gasses will be grouped with elements that match them.

Hope this makes sense!

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.
