Re: D orbital
Yes. There are five orbitals, which is of the nature of the D orbital, as there are three p orbitals and one S orbital. Each orbital holds two electrons, so the D orbitals have the capability to hold 10 electrons

Re: D orbital
If you look at it using the quantum numbers, the D subshell is l=2, therefore ml (the orbitals) is 2,1,0,-1,-2. There are 5 values, meaning that there is a total of 5 orbitals in the D subshell.

Re: D orbital
Since each orbital holds two electrons, the d-orbital has 5, allowing for ten total electrons.

Re: D orbital
If you take a look at the magnetic quantum numbers for the d, they are -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, which are 5 in total. Each orbital is able to hold 2 electrons, therefore the d-orbital can hold a total of 10 electrons.
