The elements of the periodic table are arranged in groups and periods. All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals where as in a group all the elements have the same number of valence electrons.
Electrons are arranged in shells, subshells and orbitals.

Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
D block elements are also known as transition metals.They are called so because d orbital is filled with electronic shell n-1.

p Orbitals
Electrons are arranged in shells, subshells and orbitals.
There are 7 orbitals in the F-block
electrons
In theory all elements have all the orbitals. Zinc has electrons in four of them.
Its the s and p orbitals
Elements are stable when they have completely filled (or half filled) orbitals.
Elements with full s and p orbitals in their highest electron shell are the noble, or inert, gases of the last column on the periodic table: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn.
Sodium and calcium each have the same number of orbitals. These two elements (in their neutral, ground state) have 6 electron orbitals: 1s, 2s, 2px, 2py, 2pz, 3s.
all elements in a period have the same amount of orbitals and if an element is in period 2 it has 2 orbitals if it is in period 3 it has 3 orbitals ..etc
period contain elements with electrons in s p d and f orbitals
