    For you to find the correct element, begin by looking only at the fourth row of elements on the periodic table, as indicated by the 4 in front of the 4p. This number tells you the level, or shell, in which these electrons will reside.

    The "p" block is the column containing six individual columns of elements on the right most side of the table. In this configuration, elements can have from one "p" electron, up to six.

    The question is asking for the element containing 4 "p" electrons, so on the fourth row of the "p" block, count out each element until you reach four "4p" electrons.

    4p1-Gallium

    4p2-Germanium

    4p3-Arsenic

    4p4-Selenium

    Selenium, atomic number 34, is the element in the fourth row containing four "p" electrons.
