How many elements does the s orbital have?

Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.

Helium has only two electrons, and they share one orbital (forming a complementary pair).


Maximum number of electrons in 2s orbital?

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 2s orbital is 2. This is because the s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, following the Pauli exclusion principle which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.
