1st energy has 1 sublevel -- 1 orbital -- 2 electrons 2nd energy level has 2 sublevels -- 4 orbitals -- 8 e- 3rd energy level has 3 sublevels -- 9 orbitals -- 18 e- 4th energy level has 4 sublevels -- 16 orbitals -- 32 e- Notice the pattern? number of orbitals = energy level squared Number of electrons = 2x number of orbitals
The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, filling the 1s orbital. The second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons, filling the 2s and 2p orbitals.
16 orbitals in the 4th energy level. One s orbital, three p orbitals, five d orbitals, seven f orbitals Elements where the 4th principal energy level are filled are:- period 4 4s and 4p (starting with potassium) period 5 4d starting with Yttrium Lanthanides 4f starting with cerium
There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.
There are one 3s orbital, three 3p orbitals, and five 3d sublevels.

There is one s orbital and three p orbitals and five d orbitals in the third energy level.

The first energy level contains one s orbital, which can hold up to two electrons.
In energy level three, there are four types of orbitals: s, p, d, and f. Specifically, the 3s and 3p orbitals are available, as well as the 3d orbitals, which start to fill at this energy level. The 3f orbitals do not exist in the third energy level; they begin in the fourth energy level. Thus, the total number of orbital types at energy level three is three: s, p, and d.

In the second energy level, there are four orbitals - one 2s orbital and three 2p orbitals.
They can only have 1 S ORBITAL per energy level (1s, 2s, 3s...). Each S orbital consists of 2 electrons of opposite spin.
