Boron (1s 2 2s 2 2p 1) puts its new electron in a 2p orbital; carbon (1s 2 2s 2 2p 2) fills a second 2p orbital; and with nitrogen (1s 2 2s 2 2p 3) all three 2p orbitals become singly occupied. This is consistent with Hund's rule , which states that atoms usually prefer to singly occupy each orbital of the same type before filling them with the ...
A period 5 element is one of the chemical elements in the fifth row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements.The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behaviour fall ...

[4] [5] George Gamow, Lev Landau, and Vitalii Goldanski (who was alive at the time) were suggested for consideration for honoring with elements during the Transfermium Wars, but were not actually proposed.
