The number of orbitals in a given shell fit the equation 2(L)+1, where L=the angular quantum number.
L=0 corresponds with the s orbital, L=1 with p orbital, L=2 with d orbital, L=3 with f orbital, L=4 with g orbital, and L=5 with h orbital.
Therefore, we use 5 for L in the original equation and we see that there are 2(5)+1 or 11 possible h orbitals in a closed shell.
