How are orbitals and energy levels related?

The principal quantum number, n, designates the main energy levels occupied by electrons. The number of orbitals in an energy level is n2 (n squared), so that the first energy level, n = 1, contains 1 orbital; the second energy level, n = 2, contains 4 orbitals; the third energy level, n= 3, has 9 orbitals; and the fourth energy level, n=4, has 16 orbitals, and so on.


How many orbitals exist in the fourth principal energy level what are they and in what periods can they be found?

How can you find a orbitals principal energy level?

The orbital will be described with a number, followed by a letter, which may have a suffix. The number is the principal energy level. For example 2p, principal energy level 2; 5d principal energy level 5; 1s principal energy level 1.
