This plateau is where a phase change occurs. Likely, this cooling curve observes the changing of a liquid into a solid (so that the temperature is quantifiable). As something cools, it’s losing energy to the surroundings; when a phase change occurs, like liquid to solid, energy isn’t lost directly from the atom, but instead the energy maintained by free motion of the atom is used. This lack of motion reduces it into a lattice (all while maintaining a constant internal energy), finalizing the phase change, after which energy is lost directly from the atom again.
For example, consider the energy used by an electric fan. The amount of electrical energy used is greater than the kinetic energy of the moving fan blades. Because energy is always conserved, some of the electrical energy flowing into the fan's motor is obviously changed into unusable or unwanted forms.
The answer is 4. It can hold 4 sublevels as s.p,d,f and it holds 32 electrons
