The maximum number of electrons present in the main energy level in which the ‘g’ subshell appears for the first time is 50.

The value of ‘l’ for the g subshell is 4. The principal quantum number of the g subshell is 5 (l= n-1). So, the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in 5th orbit is 2x52 = 50 electrons.

Orbitals should be filled before filling of 5g subshell are 1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d,4p,5s,4d,5p,6s,4f,5d,6p,7s,5f,6d,7s,5f,6d,7p,8s,5g.

So, the atomic number will be 121.
