The formula for the number of electrons you can have in each shell is 2n^2 (2 times n squared) where n is the energy level (also called the Principal Quantum Number).
So,
L1 = 2 x (1x1) = 2
L2 = 2 x (2x2) = 8
L3 = 2 x (3x3) = 18
L4 = 2 x (4x4) = 32
L5 = 2 x (5x5) = 50
So, 2 + 8 + 18 + 32 + 50 = 110.
Note that the above tells the maximum number, not necessarily the number for a particular element. An element can move on to another (higher) shell without having completely filled a lower shell. To find out for sure about a particular element, you need to consult an electron configuration table for that element.

How many electrons are on each orbit for potassium?
2 in the first, 8 in the second, 8 in the third and 1 in the forthThis is true if you are meaning energy levels. Energy levels are not orbits.
