There are two rows of inner-transition elements in the periodic table each containing 14 elements. The reason for this may be
  1. f-orbital has seven values for magnetic quantum number, hence total electrons are 14
  2. in the periodic table there is space to accommodate 14 electrons only
  3. only 28 inner-transition elements have been discovered till date
  4. 28 is the maximum number of elements that any block can accommodate.

Answer

(A) f -orbital has seven values for magnetic quantum number, hence total electrons are 14
