    16

    Explanation:

    The number of orbitals can be calculated when energy level is given.

    For example:

    n = 4

    So in 4th energy level number of orbitals are,

    n² = 4² = 16

    There are 16 orbitals when n=4

    One is 4s three are 4P five is 4d and seven are 4f.

    while the number of electrons in energy level can be calculated as

    2n²

    n is energy level.

    For n=4

    number of electrons are,

    2 (4) ² = 32
