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 is complete when it contains 2 electrons.
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 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.
