The formula to determine the number of electrons in an energy level is 2n2, where n is the number of the energy level. For the fifth energy level, n=5. So the total number of electrons possible in the fifth energy level is 2(52) = 50.

The fifth orbit can hold a maximum of 50 electrons. This follows the 2n^2 formula, where n is the principal quantum number of the orbit. The fifth orbit is also known as the n=5 shell.
