Lillianna Gordon · Answer 1

An energy level of a certain atom is further divided into the orbitals. There are four (4) orbitals. These are the s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals, and f orbitals. They are already arranged above as to how they are to be filled. The number of electrons that each can hold are as follows:

s orbitals = 2 electrons

p orbitals = 6 electrons

d orbitals = 10 electrons

f orbitals = 14 electrons
