Subshells[edit]

Subshell label Max electrons Shells containing it Historical name
s 0 2 Every shell  sharp
p 1 6 2nd shell and higher  principal
d 2 10 3rd shell and higher  diffuse
f 3 14 4th shell and higher  fundamental
g 4 18 5th shell and higher (theoretically) (next in alphabet after f)
h 5 22 6th shell and higher (theoretically) (next in alphabet after g)
i 6 26 7th shell and higher (theoretically) (next in alphabet after h)
j 7 32 8th shell and higher (theoretically) (next in alphabet after i)

Number of electrons in each shell[edit]

Shells and subshells. The number of filled cells is the number of electrons at the level. Red color indicates sublevel s; orange - p; yellow - d; green - f; blue - g; indigo - h; violet - i
