The d sublevel always contains 5 orbitals. Therefore the d sublevel can accommodate 10 electrons just the same as 3d and 4d orbitals. Each of the 5 separate d orbitals can only contain two electrons.
Silica has 2 pairs of electrons in the third orbitals. Atomic number of silica is 14. Electron configuration of it is, [Si]= 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2 .
The 3rd period contains 2 of the 3 orbitals for the third sublevel. It has the s and p orbitals in it.
Al, Si, P, S, Cl and Ar have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 electrons respectively in the 3p (valence orbitals). However all elements after Argon have completely filled 3p orbitals though 3p is not the valence orbital.
Sc is a 3d element. It has 21 protons and 21 electrons.

In silver there are 2 electrons in 3s orbital, 6 electrons in 3p orbitals and 10 electrons in 3d orbitals. So there is a total of 18 electrons
zero - after the 4s orbitals are filled at Calcium, the 3d orbitals start to fill - not until Gallium do the 4p orbitals start to fill.
After the 3d sublevel is filled, additional electrons will occupy the 4p orbitals, for a total of 6 electrons in the 4p sublevel.
The 3rd period contains 2 of the 3 orbitals for the third sublevel. It has the s and p orbitals in it.
The 3d sub-level has 5 orbitals, and therefore space for a total of 10 electrons. Excluding certain hyper-valent bonding scenarios, the first element with electrons to occupy the 3d sub-level is scandium (Sc).
An individual 3d orbital can hold only 2 electrons There are five 3d orbitals each of which can hold a maximum of two, making a maximum in the 3d subshell of 10 electrons.
On the periodic chart, the element with 5 electrons in its 3d orbital can be quickly identified. Elements with partially filled d-orbitals are located in the middle section, the "transitional metals." 3d is the first d-orbital, so we look in the first row of the middle section. This section fills the orbital by one more electron per element, so the one with 5 electrons is the fifth from the left.... Manganese! Atomic number 25.
The 3d subshell is completely filled in Arsenic. Therefore it has 10 electrons.
Valence electrons are the outermost electrons. If you look at the periodic table, d- and f-orbitals always fill after s- and p- electrons from outer shells do. For instance, the 3d orbitals start filling after the 4s, and the 4f orbitals start filling after the 6s's. So valence electrons will always just include s- and p- electrons. For Ununtrium (element 113), the electron configuration is: [Rn] 7s2 5f14 6d10 7p1 The outermost (valence shell) is the 7th shell, and there are two electrons in the 7s orbital and 1 electron in the 7p orbital. So there are three valence electrons in element 113.
The 3d electrons are in "3" based on their quantized energy. The 4s electrons are of higher quantized energy, thus they are in level 4. However, when lots of electrons are present, the negative-negative repelling forces the electrons in 3d are ecountering pushes them into a more energized state above 4s. It becomes even more confusing when you consider larger elements with 'f' orbitals. Also remember, this model is based on a hydrogen atom. Each atom is its own little complex arrangement of electrons that follow a general rule, not a law.
