How do you calculate the max number of electrons with ?

How do you calculate the maximum number of electrons with principal quantum number:
a) 1
b) 2

There is more, but I list two because I want to learn how to do it. How do you show your work mathematically and what is is the principal quantum number?

Well, it's been awhile. For 1 there's just the s suborbital with 2 e, right?
For 2 there is the px, the py and the pz subs, each having 2 for a total of 6. Or is it that the 2 quantum number includes the s?

I don't understand what you are claiming to do.
