The formula for determining the maximum number of electrons in each energy level is 2n2, where n is the energy level. You square the energy level, then multiply times two. For the first energy level, 2(1)2 = 2. For the second energy level, 2(2)2 = 8. For the third energy level, 2(3)2 = 18.
Thus the total number of atomic orbitals in the fourth energy level of an atom is 16.
the lowest energy level to allow f orbitals is the fourth energy level
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
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 16 orbitals in a n=4 shell *since there are 2 electrons in each orbital, that makes 32 electrons total here

Thus the total number of atomic orbitals in the fourth energy level of an atom is 16.
the lowest energy level to allow f orbitals is the fourth energy level
D has 5 orbitals and can be filled with up to 10 electrons.
The maximum number of electrons in an energy level can be calculated using the formula 2n^2, where n is the principal quantum number of the energy level. This formula is derived from the fact that each energy level can hold up to 2 electrons per orbital, and the number of orbitals in an energy level is given by n^2.
different atomic sublevels have different numbers of orbitals for electrons. s=2 p=6 d=10 f=14 but each prinicple energy level can hold more electrons than the last p1=2 p2=8 p3=18 p4=32 p5=50 p6=72 p7=98

The maximum number of electrons in the outer energy level of any atom (the so-called valence band) will depend on the atom (element) being investigated. Different outer electron energy levels can contain a different maximum number of electrons. The energy levels, sometimes called orbitals, are designateds, p, d and f. The maximum number of electrons in the energy levels of each of these orbitals is as follows"s = 2 electrons maximump = 6 electrons maximumd = 10 electrons maximumf = 14 electrons maximumg = 18 electrons maximumIt falls on the investigator to determine the electron configuration of a given atom (element) under investigation, and, thus informed, he will be able to deduce the number of electrons in that atoms's outer electron shell.This can get complicated in a hurry, but it is easily understandible with a little work.Extra information is provided in the Wikipedia post on atomic orbitals, and a link is provided below to that article.or easier it is 32
There can be a maximum of 6 p electrons in any one principle energy level. This is because there are 3 p orbitals (each holding a maximum of 2 electrons) available in each energy level.
