No it can only hold up to 2.
You have a rule for finding the maximum of electrons in every single shell. It is 2 *(shellnumber)2.
Shell number 1 = 2 electrons
Shell number 2 = 8 electrons
Shell number 3 = 18 electrons
Shell number 4 = 32 electrons
Shell number 5 = 50 electrons
Shell number 6 = 72 electrons
Shell number 7 = 98 electrons
Shell number above does for the moment not exist.
That's right, the maximum capacity is 2 electrons in the s orbital and 6 in the p orbitals.
in the energy shell with 6 as principal quantum number there 2n2, which is 72.
2 is the maximum in any orbital and there are 3 orbitals in the 6p - 6px, 6py, 6pz

The answer would be an electrons position cannot be known precisely.
What exactly did you intend to ask? Actually there can be only 2 electrons on one orbital of any level and any type. It's according to Pauli concept (no any two electrons can have the same all four quantum numbers, and these numbers are determining the level, sublevel, orbital position and the spin of electron(which can be whether 1/2 or -1/2, so that only two electrons can occupie the same orbital, no matter, which)).
is the answer 32 electrons
n=3;1=3;m1=-2;ms=+1/2 answer =0

The energy levels and orbitals the electrons are in
The principal quantum number is the level of the most energetic electrons in an atom. It also corresponds to which period the element is in on the periodic table. For example, barium has a principal quantum number of 6 because its valence electrons are in level 6, and the element is in period 6.
An orbital can only occupy maximum of 2 electrons. As p orbital consist of 3 orbitals. And has 3 orientations. Px, Py, Pz. So as there are 3 orbitals so p orbital can occupy at the maximum 6 electrons regardless of principle quantum no.. In 4p 4 is principle quantum no. So it represent 4p represent the p orbital of 4th shell. So it also occupy at the maximum of 6 electrons.
