They can only have 1 S ORBITAL per energy level (1s, 2s, 3s...). Each S orbital consists of 2 electrons of opposite spin.

There can be three (3) p orbitals in any given energy level. This is the m (magnetic) quantum number. You can have px, py, and pz orbitals.

There can be five d orbitals in an energy level, each of which can contain two electrons of opposite spin. In the ground state, the first d orbitals are found in the third energy level.
