The number of orbitals in a given shell fit the equation 2(L)+1, where L=the angular quantum number.
L=0 corresponds with the s orbital, L=1 with p orbital, L=2 with d orbital, L=3 with f orbital, L=4 with g orbital, and L=5 with h orbital.
Therefore, we use 5 for L in the original equation and we see that there are 2(5)+1 or 11 possible h orbitals in a closed shell.

How many orbitals are in the third shell?
9
How many types of orbitals are in the sixth shell?
There are 36 types of orbitals in the sixth shell.
How many full orbitals and half-full orbitals are there in valence shell of krypton?
Krypton is a noble gas and hence has stable electronic configuration. Its valence shell configuration is 4s2 4p6 . Therefore, it has 1-s and 3-p full orbitals in its valence shell.
A given set of p orbitals consists of how many orbitals?
Always three!
How many orbitals are found in the second shell?
If the question is an attempt to ask "How many orbitals are there with principal quantum number n = 2", then 4 orbitals which can hold a total of 8 electrons.
How many elements can the 3rd shell hold?
The 3rd shell can contain 18 electrons. The elements that have a 3rd shell as the outer shell are the the elements in period 3, where the 3s and 3p orbitals are filled to a maximum of 8 electrons. The 3d orbitals are filled in the 4th period in the transition elements.
How many orbitals are in the 5th principal shell?
There are three p orbitals in all levels 2 and above. these are the px, py and pz orbitals, the (suffix is the direction - px lies along the x axis). In the 5th level they will be 5px, 5py, 5pz
How many orbitals are found in sub-level d?
There are 5 d orbitals in a given sublevel.
How many sub orbitals do shell 4 and 5?
Only four in each have been observed.
How many electrons occupy p orbitals in a chlorine atom?
5 electrons in p orbitals in the outer shell. Cl has an electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s2, 3p5 In level 2 there a further 6 electrons in p orbitals making 11 electrons in total occupying p orbitals
How many electron shells does Argon have?
3 shells; 2 electrons in the first shell, 8 in the second shell and 8 in the third shell.
How many orbitals will you expect to find in the last subshell of the fifth shell?
9. The number of orbitals in a given shell fit the equation 2(L)+1, where L=the angular quantum number. L=0 corresponds with the s orbital, L=1 with p orbital, L=2 with d orbital, L=3 with f orbital, L=4 with g orbital, and L=5 with h orbital.
