I'm looking for a diagram that shows the shapes of different orbitals along with what element they correspond to. I've found lots of pictures of orbitals online but very few that label the type of atom (element) they're associated with. Any links would be greatly appreciated.

The orbitals are associated with all elements. The specific values for e.g. energy, and which are occupied would be element-specific, but every element has the s orbitals, the p orbitals, etc.

Well, what I'm looking for is a chart showing which orbitals get filled with electrons based on which element you have. Hydrogen, I'm assuming, has its s-orbital filled, and then somewhere higher up the periodic table (helium? lithium?) the p-orbital gets filled.

Hydrogen and helium are both s.

 

In general, groups 1 and 2 have s-orbitals, 3-12 d-orbitals, and 13-18 p-orbitals. The lanthanide and actinide series have f-orbitals.

 

This means that, for example, boron has two s-orbitals full (from periods 1 and two) and 1 electron in a p-orbital.

Maybe something like this (all three pages are related, but cover different aspects)...

just click on the element and all will be shown to you, Enjoy
