The number of electrons that are possible in a given energy level is given by the formula 2(n2), where n is the energy level. So you square the energy level and multiply times two. This gives you the electron capacity for that energy level. For example, the possible electron capacity for energy level 6 is 2(62), which is 2 x 36, which is 72. So the 6th energy level can take a maximum of 72 electrons.
