What is the maximum number of s orbitals p orbitals d orbitals and f orbitals in any single energy level in an atom?

For fun, let's give them numbers instead of letters, and call s "0", p "1", d "2", and f "3".Then the number of distinct orbitals for any given principal quantum number (which is a more precise way of the concept you meant when you said "energy level") is twice the number plus 1... though the principal quantum number must be higher than the numbers we just gave the orbitals in order for there to be any at all (there aren't any 1p orbitals, for example). For principal quantum number of at least four, there are 1 s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. If we call the four quantum numbers n, l, m, and s, where n is the principal quantum number, l is the azimuthal quantum number, m is the magnetic quantum number, and s is the spin quantum number, the permissible values are: n - any integer such that 0 < n ("shell") l - any integer such that 0 <= l < n (orbital "type" - s, p ,d ,f, g, h, i, etc.) m - any integer such that -l <= m <= l (individual orbitals of type l) s - -1/2 or +1/2 (electron "spin")

How do you find the number of orbitals in an element?

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. Click on the related link to see a periodic table that shows electron configurations for the elements.


How much mass is in an given volume?

Volume times density (of the material contained).


How many d orbitals can there be in an energ level?

They can only have 1 S ORBITAL per energy level (1s, 2s, 3s...). Each S orbital consists of 2 electrons of opposite spin.

What is the maximum number of p orbitals that are possible?

Each of the p orbitals can hold 2 electrons due to the Pauli exclusion principle. Because there are 3 p orbitals in a given subshell, the overall p subshell can hold 6 electrons.
