There are 2, the 2s and 2p subshells.
The s subshell contains just one orbital and can hold only two electrons (of opposite spin)
The p subshell contains 3 orbitals each of which can hold just 2 electrons (of opposite spin) making 6 electrons in all
The lowest energy shell that contains f orbitals is the fourth shell (n=4). Within this shell, the f orbitals are found in the subshell with l=3.
The p orbitals can hold a total of 6 electrons, with 2 electrons in each of the three p orbitals (px, py, pz).
In the n = 2 orbit, there can be a maximum of 8 electrons. This corresponds to a total of 4 subshells within the n = 2 shell - the s, p, d, and f orbitals, which can hold 2, 6, 10, and 14 electrons respectively.
no because f orbitals are not energetically available until the n=4 quantum state
Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.

The lowest energy shell that contains f orbitals is the fourth shell (n=4). Within this shell, the f orbitals are found in the subshell with l=3.
16 orbitals
The p orbitals can hold a total of 6 electrons, with 2 electrons in each of the three p orbitals (px, py, pz).
In the n = 2 orbit, there can be a maximum of 8 electrons. This corresponds to a total of 4 subshells within the n = 2 shell - the s, p, d, and f orbitals, which can hold 2, 6, 10, and 14 electrons respectively.
The lowest energy level that contains f orbitals is the fourth energy level, which is represented by the principal quantum number n=4. The f orbitals are found within the subshell designated as f.
In the principal energy level n=4, you would find s, p, d, and f orbitals. These orbitals can hold different numbers of electrons and vary in shape and orientation within that energy level.
It depends which n since n is the row (period) number. 1st n = 1-s subshell, 1 orbital, and 2 electrons. 2nd n = 2-s subshell with 1 orbital and 2 electrons + 2-p subshell with 3 orbitals and 6 electrons.
no because f orbitals are not energetically available until the n=4 quantum state
There are a total of three p orbitals for an atom with principal quantum number n = 2: px, py, and pz. These orbitals are oriented along the x, y, and z axes.
the lowest value of n that allows g orbitals to exist is 5
Each shell has a total of n2 orbitals, where n is the principal quantum number. For N shells the total orbitals is therefore :- N2 + (N-1)2 + (N-2)2 +....+1
