s = 2 electrons
p = 6 electrons
d = 10 electrons
f = 14 electrons Each single s orbital has two electrons in it. Each p orbital has two electrons in it and as there are three of these orbitals in a p subshell, the total electron number is six. d has five orbitals in its subshell, containing ten electrons (two in each orbital) when full, which form a dumbell-esque shape. f has seven orbitals each containing two electrons.
The four types of orbitals are s, p, d, and f. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbital is dumbbell-shaped, the d orbital is cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbital is complex in shape.
Yes, the half-filled and fully-filled stability principles can also be applied to f orbitals in the same way as they are for d orbitals. These principles predict enhanced stability for half-filled and fully-filled f orbitals, resulting in more stable configurations for elements with these electron configurations.
There is one subshell in the f orbital, which can hold a maximum of 14 electrons. This subshell has seven orbitals: 5f with each of the orbitals capable of holding 2 electrons.
In orbitals and shells. Orbitals are hard to describe because they are shaped by relativistic quantum mechanics and can only be visualized as probability clouds not as physical shapes. Shells are composed of sets of orbitals. s orbital probability clouds are spherical. p orbital probability clouds are egg shaped ellipsoids. d orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with a donut around the middle unattached. f orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with two distorted donuts around the middle unattached. etc. Shell 1 has a single s orbital. Shell 2 has a single s orbital and 3 p orbitals. Shell 3 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 5 d orbitals. Shell 4 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. etc.
No, there are only 4g orbitals in an atom - s, p, d, and f. Electrons can occupy these orbitals based on their energy levels and quantum numbers.
The four types of orbitals are s, p, d, and f. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbital is dumbbell-shaped, the d orbital is cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbital is complex in shape.
The d orbital is the orbital that only applies to the 3rd orbital and up and it contains 10 electrons.
The "s" orbital is circular; the "p" orbital is shaped like a dumbell. The "d" orbitals are like a double dumbell, though the dz2 sub orbital is like a dumbell with an annulus around it. Finally, the f orbital are much more complex. They are like a quadruple dumbell with the lobes pointing towards the 8 corners of a cube.
there are actually 7 orbitals.. the different orbitals are s,p,d,f s has 1, p has 3, d has 5, and f has 7. i hope this helps you..i got this info straight from my chem teacher..
Yes, the half-filled and fully-filled stability principles can also be applied to f orbitals in the same way as they are for d orbitals. These principles predict enhanced stability for half-filled and fully-filled f orbitals, resulting in more stable configurations for elements with these electron configurations.
There are four types of orbitals in the sixth shell: s, p, d, and f orbitals. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped, the d orbitals are cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbitals have more complex shapes. Each type of orbital can hold a specific number of electrons.
There are four types of orbitals: s, p, d, and f. These orbitals have different shapes and orientations in space. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbital is dumbbell-shaped, the d orbital is cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbital is complex. Orbitals help determine the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom, which in turn influences the atom's chemical properties and reactivity.

You can break down the shell and orbitals of an atom on several levels of detail.First, there are the main shells of the atom, and these are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. (or like some doing it alphabetically K, L, M, N, ...).In the periodic table you will encounter them as seven periods.Each shell holds orbitals (sometimes called sub-shells, but they are not), and different shells have different numbers of orbitals associated with it. The higher the number of the main shell, the more orbitals it contains. In fact, the number of the main shell is equal to the number of orbitals it contains. The types of orbitals are labeled like this: s, p, d, f, and not so very important: g, h, i, etc (alphabetically after i).So far we have:Main shell #1-- contains one orbital (s-orbital)Main shell #2-- contains two orbitals (s-orbital, and p-orbital)Main shell #3-- contains three orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, and d-orbital)Main shell #4-- contains four orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, d-orbital, and f-orbital)etc...Now we can further break down orbitals! The p-orbital is actually composed of three sub-orbitals and the d-orbital is composed of 5 sub-orbitals and f-orbital in 7 sub-orbitals.So we have:s-orbital: just a single orbital, called just the s-orbitalp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, called the px-, py-, and pz-orbitalsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, called the dxy-, dxz-, dyz-, dx2-y2, and dz2-orbtialsf-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, called fz3, fxz2, fyz2, fxyz, fz(x2-y2), fx(x2-3y2), fy(3x2-y2).etc...And at last, but not least: each sub-orbital has a maximum of TWO electrons in it, only differing in electron spin number.So the maxima per orbital are:s-orbital: just a single orbital, max. 2 electronsp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, max. 6 electronsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, max. 10 electrons (= number of transitional elements)f-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, max. 14 electrons (= number of lanthanides, actinides)(Thanks to JEK, who's original answer I completed with the last paragraph and some minor add's in the first ones)
9. 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.
There is one subshell in the f orbital, which can hold a maximum of 14 electrons. This subshell has seven orbitals: 5f with each of the orbitals capable of holding 2 electrons.
