$16$ $16$

Explanation:

If $n$ $n$ is the shell number then the maximum number of orbitals in the given shell is equal to $n^{2}$ $n^2$ .

So with $n = 4$ $n=4$ , the maximum number of orbitals will be:

$n^{2} = 4^{2} = 16$ $n^2=4^2=16$

16

Explanation:

In all shells the total orbital amount should be the square of that value, therefore the 4th shell have 16 total orbitals for a grand total of 32 electrons
