d
There are 7 orbitals in the F-block
Cadmium is a d block metal element. Atomic number of it is 48. It has 5 s orbitals filled with electrons.
3f
S block elements- valence electrons are filling the s orbitals D block elements- valence electrons are filling the d orbitals P block elements- valence electrons are filling the p orbitals F block elements- valence electrons are filling the f orbitals
The reason that orbitals of the same energy level degeneracy is due to similar molecular structure. The orbitals contains electrons that cancel each other out.
The d sublevel contains 5 orbitals
There are 7 orbitals in the F-block
You would have to determine the electron configuration for atoms of a given element. Each s sublevel contains 1 orbital, each p sublevel contains 3 orbitals, each d sublevel contain 5 orbitals, and each f sublevel contains 7 orbitals.

Cadmium is a d block metal element. Atomic number of it is 48. It has 5 s orbitals filled with electrons.
Each orbital contains maximum or 2 electrons. you could be either asking for this OR s orbital contains maximum of 2 electrons (has 1 orbitals) p orbital contains maximum of 6 electrons (has 3 orbitals) d orbital contains maximum of 10 electrons (has 5 orbitals)
The 3rd period contains 2 of the 3 orbitals for the third sublevel. It has the s and p orbitals in it.
5 orbitals
Electrons don't have levels. They have shells and orbitals. Each shell contains certain orbitals. For example, the first shell contains only the s orbital. The second contains the s and p orbital. The fourth shell has the s, p, and d orbitals.
The d sublevel always contains 5 orbitals. Therefore the d sublevel can accommodate 10 electrons just the same as 3d and 4d orbitals. Each of the 5 separate d orbitals can only contain two electrons.
Sulfur has three electron orbitals. The first orbital contains 2 electrons, the second contains 8 and the third contains 6.
Orbitals
D-block was named by analogy with the spectroscopic notation of atomic orbitals. D is from diffuse.
