15. If the first energy level only has an s-sublevel, there will be
1
atomic orbital and
a maximum of
2
electrons on n = 1.
16. If the second energy level has a s sublevel and a p sublevel, there will be
4
atomic orbitals and a maximum of
8
electrons on n = 2.
17. If the third energy level has a s-sublevel, a p sublevel, and a d sublevel, there will be
9
atomic orbitals and a maximum of
18
electrons on n =3.
18. If the fourth energy level has a s sublevel, a p sublevel, a d sublevel, and a f sublevel,
there will be
16
atomic orbitals and a maximum of
32
electrons on n =4.

19. In general, if n is used to represent the energy level,
n
represents the number
2
of orbitals and
2n
represents the number of electrons.
