The 3rd period contains 2 of the 3 orbitals for the third sublevel. It has the s and p orbitals in it.
Electrons occupy orbitals in a definite sequence, filling orbitals with lower energies first. Generally, orbitals in a lower energy level have lower energies than those in a higher energy level. But, in the third level the energy ranges of the principal energy levels begin to overlap. As a result, the 4s sublevel is lower in energy than the 3d sublevel, so it fills first.

The d sublevel always contains 5 orbitals. Therefore the d sublevel can accommodate 10 electrons just the same as 3d and 4d orbitals. Each of the 5 separate d orbitals can only contain two electrons.

Zero. Calcium has two electrons in its 4s sublevel, and none in the 3d sublevel. The 3d sublevel doesn't start filling until after the 4s sublevel is filled.
After the 3d sublevel is filled, additional electrons will occupy the 4p orbitals, for a total of 6 electrons in the 4p sublevel.

There is no such level as 2d. In 1st level there is just 1s. In the 2nd level there is 2s and 2p. Only in the 3rd level is there 3s, 3p and 3d. The sublevels of 3d are 3 dxy dyz dxz d(x2-y2) dz2 so 5 sublevels of 3d.

The d sublevel always contains 5 orbitals. Therefore the d sublevel can accommodate 10 electrons just the same as 3d and 4d orbitals. Each of the 5 separate d orbitals can only contain two electrons.
There are one 3s orbital, three 3p orbitals, and five 3d sublevels.
The 4s orbital falls in a slightly lower energy level than the 3d orbital when it is empty so it will fill with electrons first, but when it is full of electrons it rises to be above the 3d one so that it will lose electrons first as well.
