Answer:

There are different energy levels in atoms. There are also different orbitals: there is 1s orbital, 3p orbitals, 5d orbitals and 7f orbitals. Not sure about sub levels...

Step-by-step explanation:

Orbitals are spaces that have a high probability of containing an electron. ... The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max.
