You would have to determine the electron configuration for atoms of a given element. Each s sublevel contains 1 orbital, each p sublevel contains 3 orbitals, each d sublevel contain 5 orbitals, and each f sublevel contains 7 orbitals.

Each and every element after Lithium has these orbitals.

If you look at a periodic chart, you will see that each element has a number. That number gives the number of protons and electrons that each element contains. There are limits to the number of electrons that any orbital can contain. The orbitals are labeled: s, p, d, f, g, h, i, k. The first two atoms in the periodic table, Hydrogen and Helium, only have an s orbital. The s orbital holds two electrons. When the s orbital is full, as with Helium, it can not react with anything else. Helium is inert. The next row in the periodic table contains the p orbital. When the p orbital is full, as in Neon, then it can not react. If you look at the periodic table, the orbitals can hold more electrons and each element can hold more orbitals. If it becomes possible to create an element with several hundred protons, the orbitals could hold many electrons.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the element. For example calcium has 20 protons, so that means it has an atomic number of 20. You can find the element's number on the periodic table; its usually the number on top of the element's symbol
Silica has 2 pairs of electrons in the third orbitals. Atomic number of silica is 14. Electron configuration of it is, [Si]= 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2 .
Yes,It Is :)
Magnesium
Each and every element after Lithium has these orbitals.
Three completely filled orbitals.
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.
Cadmium is a d block metal element. Atomic number of it is 48. It has 5 s orbitals filled with electrons.
The element magnesium (Mg) has the same number of electron orbitals as sodium (Na).Six1) , to be exact. The only orbital difference between the both is that sodium has one unpaired electron orbital whereas all the six orbitals of magnesium are paired.Added:1s2, 2s2, [2px22py22pz2], and finally 3s1 or 3s2 (for Na or Mg respectively)1) Actually the three [2px22py22pz2] are sub-orbitals of the (one) 2p6-orbital.The answer then would have been four in stead of 'Six'.
is it yellow

If the valence electrons are being added to the 4f orbitals, that means the element is lanthanides or actinides which further proves that the element is a heavy element and a member of f -block.
The element sulfur is element number 16, and has 6 electrons in the 3rd orbital level : 3s2, 3p4.
Half filled orbitals or empty orbitals
