Answer:

The answer are below

Step-by-step explanation:

How many electrons fit in the s orbital? Only 2 electrons

How many electrons fit in the p orbital? Six electrons, because there are three suborbitals p: px, py and pz, and in each orbital only fit two electrons.

How many electrons fit in the d orbital? ten electrons, because electrons are always in pairs, and with ten electrons can be formed 5 suborbitals.

How many electrons fit in the f orbital? fourteen.
