The heaviest known atom is Oganesson (Og), which has an atomic number of 118. In the context of electron configuration, the p sublevel can hold a maximum of six electrons and is present in elements from groups 13 to 18. For Oganesson, the highest occupied p sublevel is the 6p sublevel, which can contain up to six electrons, but it is only partially filled in this element. Thus, while Oganesson has a 6p sublevel, the number of electrons in this sublevel is subject to ongoing research and may not be fully determined.
