Best Answer

I think this will answer your question:

S holds a maximum of 2 electrons

P holds a maximum of 6 electrons

D holds a maximum of 10 electrons

F holds a maximum of 14 electrons If you want to learn more try typing in the aufbau principle on Answers.com

Or try looking up electron configurations.

How are electrons compiled on an atoms?

In orbitals and shells. Orbitals are hard to describe because they are shaped by relativistic quantum mechanics and can only be visualized as probability clouds not as physical shapes. Shells are composed of sets of orbitals. s orbital probability clouds are spherical. p orbital probability clouds are egg shaped ellipsoids. d orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with a donut around the middle unattached. f orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with two distorted donuts around the middle unattached. etc. Shell 1 has a single s orbital. Shell 2 has a single s orbital and 3 p orbitals. Shell 3 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 5 d orbitals. Shell 4 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. etc.
