s contains one orbital with a maximum of 2 electrons p contains three orbitals with a maximum of 6 electrons d contains five orbitals with a maximum of 10 electrons f contains seven orbital with a maximum of 14 electrons
The third energy level contains one s orbital and three p orbitals.
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.

2. The five d orbitals can hold ten in total.

there are two shells of electrons in the nitrogen atom that actually have electrons in them, nitrogen has two electrons in the first shell, the S orbital, and five in the outer shell, the P orbital. this causes nitrogen to have a valence shell with five electrons.
Five. Fluorine and chlorine are in the 2p and 3p shells, respectively. Because each p orbital contains a maximum of six electrons, and fluroine and chlorine both have one less, they each have five.
there are five valence electrons in an atom of phosphorus

All elements in the group of Nitrogen, such as Phosphorus and Arsenic, have five valence electron when in their natural state (that is, they have not have not gained or lost valence electrons). But as to the element in that group that has valence electrons in the third electron orbital, Phosphorus is the one you are looking for. To figure this out, just look at the Periodic Table of Elements, and you will see that Phosphorus is in the third row. Hope this helps!
2. The five d orbitals can hold ten in total.
The electrons fill each of the five orbitals, so there is 1 electron in each of the five orbitals. Then the 6th electron would pair its spin with the first orbital, the 7th would pair its spin with the 2nd orbital, etc.
Boron has 3 valence electrons out of five total electrons.
In any orbital the maximum number of electrons is 2 of opposite spin. The following is a list of the different types of orbitals and the maximum nuber of electrons each type can contain. s-orbitals: one orbital, containing 2 electrons p-orbitals: three (px, py, pz) containing 6 in total d-orbitals: five, containing 10 f-orbitals: seven containing 14
