Energy levels are predicted by quantum mechanics, which is the science of physics that deals with the microscopic world of atoms. The energy levels on an atom are grouped into different shaped called orbitals. S-orbital is spherical and holds 2 electrons. The first 2 electrons in each energy level are in the s-orbital. P-orbitals hold 6 electrons and are aligned along the 3 directions on a 3-D graph back-front, right-left)
