Question

select the correct location. which part of the periodic table would contain an element with a partially filled f sublevel?

Explanation:

Elements with partially filled \( f \) sublevels are the lanthanides (filling 4\( f \)) and actinides (filling 5\( f \)), which are located in the bottom - block (the light - blue colored block in the diagram, often called the inner transition metals) of the periodic table. The green block is typically the main - group elements (s - and p - block, no \( f \) - sublevel filling), the pink block is the d - block (transition metals, filling d - sublevels), and the yellow block is also not the \( f \) - block. So the part with the light - blue color (the bottom block with the cursor) contains elements with partially filled \( f \) sublevels.

Answer:

The light - blue colored block (the bottom block in the diagram, representing inner transition metals: lanthanides and actinides)
