Actually i believe its-
1 level- 2
2 level- 8
3 level- 18 (can be stable with 8)
4 level- 32

Why is it that all of the sub shells in a given shell have the same energy in the hydrogen atom whereas in a many-electron atom the sub shells in a given shell do not have the same energy?
The hydrogen atom only has one energy level (shell). The first energy level also contains only one sublevel, 1s sublevel (subshell), which can only hold two electrons. When you get to the second energy level in the second period on the periodic table, it has two sublevels, the 2s and the 2p sublevels. Both of the electrons in the 2s sublevel have the same energy. The 2p sublevel can hold 6 electrons. All of the electrons in the 2p sublevel have the same energy, which is higher than the energy in the 2s sublevel. So, as we move down the periods on the periodic table, we move from the first energy level to the seventh energy level. Each energy level contains specific numbers of sublevels, and all of the atoms within a particular sublevel have equal energy.
How many 2p orbitals are there and what is the number of electrons they can hold?
There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.
How many electrons can the S sublevel hold?
there are two electons in the s sublevel. It is the number of electrons that fit in the first orbital around an atom.
What is the number of electrons in the third principal energy level in an atom having the electron structure 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2?
The element with that electron configuration has 4 electrons in the third level. There are 2 electrons in the 3s sublevel and 2 more electrons in the 3p sublevel. This means 4 valence electrons total. This element is silicon (Si, #14).
4s orbital is filled before 3d orbital?
The 4s orbital falls in a slightly lower energy level than the 3d orbital when it is empty so it will fill with electrons first, but when it is full of electrons it rises to be above the 3d one so that it will lose electrons first as well.
What is energy sublevel?
The level of energy possessed by all electrons in one type of orbital

How many electrons can fourth energy level hold?
The fourth energy level can hold up to thirty-two (32) electrons.
In the notation 2p4 what does 4 refer to?
It refers to numbers of electrons in the 2p sublevel.
What metals have two electrons in the uter energy level?
The alkaline earth metals have two electrons in their outermost s sublevel.
How many electrons are on Radon's fourth energy level?
32 electrons on the fourth shell of radon.
Which energy level can hold a maximum of 32 electrons?
The fourth energy level holds a maximum of 32 electrons.
Why does the 4S orbital begin to fill before the 3D orbital?
Electrons occupy orbitals in a definite sequence, filling orbitals with lower energies first. Generally, orbitals in a lower energy level have lower energies than those in a higher energy level. But, in the third level the energy ranges of the principal energy levels begin to overlap. As a result, the 4s sublevel is lower in energy than the 3d sublevel, so it fills first.
How many electrons can the S sublevel hold?
there are two electons in the s sublevel. It is the number of electrons that fit in the first orbital around an atom.
When comparing the energy of an electron in the 3d sub-level to that of an electron in the 4s sublevel of the same atom?
They are both capable of holding a maximum of 10
The energy level that can hold 32 electrons?
Fourth
