Answer: A pattern of same atomic orbitals can be seen about elements in the same period with respect to electron structures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal rows in a period table are called periods.

Elements present in the same period will have same atomic orbitals.

For example, electronic distribution of Na is 2, 8, 1 and it is a third period element.

Similarly, electronic distribution of Cl is 2, 8, 7 and it is also a third period element.

Hence, both Na and Cl will have K, L, M shells, that is, they have three atomic orbitals.

Thus, we can conclude that a pattern of same atomic orbitals can be seen about elements in the same period with respect to electron structures.
