Nothing in particular determines the name of an element, it could range from who discovered it to where it was discovered!
Electronic configuration of the atom describes the arrangemnet of electrons in different shells and subshells ( sublevels).
Now , there are 4 types of sublevels: s, p , d and f . These sublevels have orbital which are spaces with high probability of having an electron and each orbital can have maximum 2 electrons.
Therefore,
s-sublevel has 1 orbital - it can have maximum 2 electrons.
p-sublevel has 3 orbitals - it can have maximum 6 electrons
d-sublevel has 5 orbitals - it can have maximum 10 electrons
f-sublevel has 7 orbitals - it can have maximum 14 electrons.
Hence, the acsending order of sublevels in terms of maximum number of electrons is:
<h2>s < p < d < f</h2>

- Hope that helps! Please let me know if you need further explanation.
An element is a substance that can't be broken down further. Lithium (Li) and calcium (Ca) are examples of elements.
Carbon monoxide (CO) and potassium bromide (KBr) are examples of compounds, which are made up of more than one element put together.
