There can be a maximum of 8 electrons in four separate orbitals, with each orbital accommodating up to 2 electrons following the Pauli exclusion principle.
A d orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
The d sublevel consists of five orbitals that can hold a maximum of two electrons each. The total maximum number of electrons that the d sublevel can hold is 10 electrons.
A set of p orbitals consists of three orbitals. Each p orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.
The energy levels in an atom determine the possible locations of electrons, known as orbitals. Each energy level can contain a specific number of orbitals, and electrons fill these orbitals based on their energy levels.
In an atom, energy levels represent the different energy states that electrons can occupy. Orbitals are regions within an energy level where electrons are likely to be found. Each energy level can contain multiple orbitals, each with a specific shape and orientation. The higher the energy level, the farther the orbitals are from the nucleus, and the higher the energy of the electrons in those orbitals.
The electrons in beryllium occupy a total of four orbitals. Beryllium has 4 electrons, which fill the 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals.
Lead has 82 electrons. It also has four valence electrons, two s- electrons and two p- electrons in its orbitals.
In theory all elements have all the orbitals. Zinc has electrons in four of them.
Selenium has four half-filled orbitals - the 4s, 4p_x, 4p_y, and 4p_z orbitals. This is because selenium has four electrons in its 4th energy level.

Silicon has three orbitals in its valence shell: one 3s orbital and two 3p orbitals. This gives it a total of four valence electrons.
3 The electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s22s22p3.
The second shell in an atom contains 4 orbitals and can hold up to 8 electrons.
Boron has 2 electrons in its 2p orbitals in its ground state. The 2p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons (2 electrons per orbital), but in the ground state, boron only has 2 electrons in the 2p orbitals.
zero - after the 4s orbitals are filled at Calcium, the 3d orbitals start to fill - not until Gallium do the 4p orbitals start to fill.
6 electrons in total, 2 in each orbital
A d orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
