A Px orbital has 1 nodal plane. This nodal plane passes through the nucleus and divides the orbital into two lobes along the x-axis.
The d orbital.An s orbital has one lobe and no nodal plane passing through the nucleus.A p orbitals has two lobes and one nodal plane.* A d orbital has four lobes and twonodal planes.An f orbital has eight lobes of maximum electron probability separated by three nodal planes.General Chemistry, Atoms First, 1st Addition, McMurry & Fay

What you say is true for a 2px prbital, i.e. where the principal quantum number n=2. Let's consider hydrogen. When l=2, as befits a p-orbital, n=2 is the smallest value for the principal quantum number n for which the radial equation has a solution. That means it is the smallest n such that there is a solution with energy -13.6/n^2. Since it is the lowest energy for which the radial equation (with l=1) has a solution, the radial part of the wave function has no node. In contrast, 3p orbitals do have radial nodes, but 3d orbitals don't, for the same reason.
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
Any orbital is complete when it contains 2 electrons.
In the s-orbital (cloud 1), 2 electrons can live, and that is the maximum. In the p-orbital (cloud 2), 6 electrons can live, and that is the maximum. 2 electrons in three different planes (Plane X, Plane Y, Plane Z).
2. The five d orbitals can hold ten in total.
An orbital can have a maximum of two electrons that have different sets of the four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms).
The orbital filling diagram for carbon (C) is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^2. This indicates that the carbon atom has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 2 electrons in the 2p orbital.
it depends on which orbital: 1: 2 2: 8 3: 18 4: 32 5: 50 6: 72 7: 98 despite the large capacities, atoms will typically attempt to maintain 8 valence electrons.
