An atom has 6 valence electrons and 2 energy levels of electrons. What element is it?

The correct answer is c. orbital shape. "the angular momentum quantum number l describes the shape of an orbital. it corresponds to each orbital type, i.e. (0,1,2,−1)=(s,p,d,f,g,"

There is no reason to think the results are biased or not conducted properly but you should not assume the results are correct just because they were done in a laboratory so the answer would be c. it is likely to be reliable because the results support the conclusion presented.

Your question is not clear but if you can explain yourself i would be glad to .  just trying to : ))
