s = 2 electrons
p = 6 electrons
d = 10 electrons
f = 14 electrons Each single s orbital has two electrons in it. Each p orbital has two electrons in it and as there are three of these orbitals in a p subshell, the total electron number is six. d has five orbitals in its subshell, containing ten electrons (two in each orbital) when full, which form a dumbell-esque shape. f has seven orbitals each containing two electrons.

The s sub-level contains 1 orbital which can hold 2 electrons. The p sub-level has 3 orbitals each able to hold 2 electrons for a total capacity of 6 electrons. The d has 5 orbitals and can hold a total of 10 electrons. The f has 7 orbitals and can hold 14 electrons.
The orbital orientations that are possible in each sub level are:S-1
p-3
d-5
f-7
There are seven s orbitals (s1-s7), four d ordbitals (d3-d6), and two f orbitals (f6 and f7). There are also six p orbitals (p2-p7).
In orbitals and shells. Orbitals are hard to describe because they are shaped by relativistic quantum mechanics and can only be visualized as probability clouds not as physical shapes. Shells are composed of sets of orbitals. s orbital probability clouds are spherical. p orbital probability clouds are egg shaped ellipsoids. d orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with a donut around the middle unattached. f orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with two distorted donuts around the middle unattached. etc. Shell 1 has a single s orbital. Shell 2 has a single s orbital and 3 p orbitals. Shell 3 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 5 d orbitals. Shell 4 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. etc.
Yes. There are three spatial orientations for the p orbital, 5 spatial orientations for the d orbital and 7 spatial orientations for the f orbitals.
There are 7 different f-orbitals and each orbital can hold 2 electrons.
It is true only for s-orbital which is spherical in shape. p-, f- and d- orbitals are not spherical in shape.
The "formula" is n2 - so for principal quantum number 4 there are 16 orbitals, correspnding to one X s orital, three X p orbitals, five X d orbitals, seven X f orbitals.
there are actually 7 orbitals.. the different orbitals are s,p,d,f s has 1, p has 3, d has 5, and f has 7. i hope this helps you..i got this info straight from my chem teacher..
The "s" orbital is circular; the "p" orbital is shaped like a dumbell. The "d" orbitals are like a double dumbell, though the dz2 sub orbital is like a dumbell with an annulus around it. Finally, the f orbital are much more complex. They are like a quadruple dumbell with the lobes pointing towards the 8 corners of a cube.
There are four energy sublevels in the fourth energy levels: 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f.

the lowest energy level to allow f orbitals is the fourth energy level
In orbitals and shells. Orbitals are hard to describe because they are shaped by relativistic quantum mechanics and can only be visualized as probability clouds not as physical shapes. Shells are composed of sets of orbitals. s orbital probability clouds are spherical. p orbital probability clouds are egg shaped ellipsoids. d orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with a donut around the middle unattached. f orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with two distorted donuts around the middle unattached. etc. Shell 1 has a single s orbital. Shell 2 has a single s orbital and 3 p orbitals. Shell 3 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 5 d orbitals. Shell 4 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. etc.
There are four kinds of orbitals: s, p, d, and f. Each s orbital hold 2 electrons (1 pair). Each p orbital holds 6 (3 pairs), d orbitals hold 10 (5 pairs) and f orbitals hold 14 (7 pairs). The first orbit only has an s orbital. So it holds 2 electrons. The second and third orbits each have an s and a p orbital. So they each hold 8 electrons. The fourth and fifth orbits each have an s, a p, and a d orbital. So they each hold 18 electrons. The sixth and seventh orbits each have an s, a p, a d, and an f orbital. They each hold 32 electrons. To place the electrons in their orbitals: Start at Hydrogen and follow through the periodic table, adding one electron per element until you reach the one you're wondering about. You can also start at the previous noble gas and go towards the element in question. Add electrons to an s orbital if you are in group I or II (or He). Add electrons to a p orbital if you in group IIIA - Noble gases. Remember that the first p orbital is 2p. Add electrons to a d orbital if you are in the transition metals. Remember that the first d orbital is 3d. Add electrons to an f orbital if you are in the rare earth metals (the ones that are usually an insert at the bottom of the page). Remember that the first f orbital is 4f. Also, place all the electrons in the orbital unpaired, then pair them up after all the spots are full. Then progress on to the next type of orbital.
The d block is an orbital. The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are the energy levels, and the orbitals are the subsections of these (s, p, d, f).Hope this is a good enough answer!
You can break down the shell and orbitals of an atom on several levels of detail.First, there are the main shells of the atom, and these are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. (or like some doing it alphabetically K, L, M, N, ...).In the periodic table you will encounter them as seven periods.Each shell holds orbitals (sometimes called sub-shells, but they are not), and different shells have different numbers of orbitals associated with it. The higher the number of the main shell, the more orbitals it contains. In fact, the number of the main shell is equal to the number of orbitals it contains. The types of orbitals are labeled like this: s, p, d, f, and not so very important: g, h, i, etc (alphabetically after i).So far we have:Main shell #1-- contains one orbital (s-orbital)Main shell #2-- contains two orbitals (s-orbital, and p-orbital)Main shell #3-- contains three orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, and d-orbital)Main shell #4-- contains four orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, d-orbital, and f-orbital)etc...Now we can further break down orbitals! The p-orbital is actually composed of three sub-orbitals and the d-orbital is composed of 5 sub-orbitals and f-orbital in 7 sub-orbitals.So we have:s-orbital: just a single orbital, called just the s-orbitalp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, called the px-, py-, and pz-orbitalsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, called the dxy-, dxz-, dyz-, dx2-y2, and dz2-orbtialsf-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, called fz3, fxz2, fyz2, fxyz, fz(x2-y2), fx(x2-3y2), fy(3x2-y2).etc...And at last, but not least: each sub-orbital has a maximum of TWO electrons in it, only differing in electron spin number.So the maxima per orbital are:s-orbital: just a single orbital, max. 2 electronsp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, max. 6 electronsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, max. 10 electrons (= number of transitional elements)f-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, max. 14 electrons (= number of lanthanides, actinides)(Thanks to JEK, who's original answer I completed with the last paragraph and some minor add's in the first ones)
Each main energy level (1 to 7) has at least an s-orbital, p-orbitals are possible from the second level onwards (2 to 7) d-orbitals from 4th level f-orbitals from 6th level
The number of orbitals in electron shells are: One s orbital three p orbitals 5 d orbitals 7 f orbitals every shell has an s orbital, only shells 2 and above have p orbitals, only shells 3 and above have d orbitals only shells 4 and above have f orbitals. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Level by level the orbitals 1s (one) 2s, 2p(three) 3s, 3p, 3d (five) 4s, 4p, 4d 4f(seven) In a shell where they are possible, all three p orbitals have the same energy, all 5 d orbitals have the same energy and all seven f orbitals have the same energy. I do not like the idea of saying there is a maximum-- an orbital is a solution to the energy levels in a hydrogen atom. You simply cannot have less than 3 p orbitals for instance.
