Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

An orbital is is the space occupied by a pair of electrons. The maximum number of electrons in an orbital is 2.

The maximum number of electrons in in the orbitals are two.

For s-sublevel with one orbital we have two electrons

p-sublevel with three orbitals we have six electrons

d - sublevel with five orbitals we have ten electrons

f - sublevel with seven orbitals we have fourteen electrons

Each orbital can take a maximum of two electrons.
