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.

Do higher energy levels have higher orbitals than lower energy levels?
Energy levels are formed into sublevels which contain specific numbers of orbitals, each of which can contain two electrons with opposite spins. The s sublevel has 1 orbital, the p sublevel has 3 orbitals, the d sublevel has 5 orbitals, and the f sublevel has 7 orbitals.
Is electrons the only thing arranged in various energy levels or orbitals or are protons arranged the same way?
There are nuclear energy levels, but they're not "the same" as the electronic energy levels.
Which components of an atom are arranged in various energy levels or orbitals?
electrons
What moved in fixed orbits around the nucleus in Bohr's model of a the atom?
Bohr did not speak of fixed LOCATIONS of electrons, he spoke of fixed energy levels. His name for such energy levels was "orbits" or "orbitals."
What does an atom contain in various energy levels?
The question is somewhat unclear, so my answer may be off. Energy levels in discussion of atomic structure typically refer to the structure of the electron cloud. Around an atoms nucleus are a series of orbitals in which electrons can be stored - they require greater amounts of stored energy to contain at higher orbitals. As such, each orbital fills from the innermost ring out. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital for the discussion of atomic orbitals on wikipedia. Each orbital refers to a specific energy level.
In what orders do electrons fill orbitals?
Electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing orbital energy. The exact order of these energy levels is shown at the related link below.
What has outermost energy levels with full s and p orbitals?
The noble gas elements have outermost energy levels with full s and p orbitals.
The electron travels around the nucleus in orbits called what?
They have many names. Common ones are orbitals or energy levels.
The electron cloud is divided into what?
The electron cloud is divided into s, p, d, and f orbitals. These orbitals also occur at different principle energy levels.
What are orbitals called?
Their orbits are called energy levels.
Do higher energy levels have higher orbitals than lower energy levels?
Energy levels are formed into sublevels which contain specific numbers of orbitals, each of which can contain two electrons with opposite spins. The s sublevel has 1 orbital, the p sublevel has 3 orbitals, the d sublevel has 5 orbitals, and the f sublevel has 7 orbitals.
What are the names of the energy levels or orbitals for the atom?
