There are a total of six electrons that occupy the p orbital of a neutral silicon atom. The p sublevel can hold a maximum of six electrons, with each p orbital accommodating two electrons with opposite spins.
Every orbital is different. 2 can occupy the first orbital then 8 can occupy mostly the rest. When you start getting really low on the periodic table orbitals start holding 16, but not till u get really low
No. Electrons are fermions, meaning they cannot share the same set of four quantum numbers. Usually when we say "orbital" we only mean the first three, so there is room for two electrons in an orbital (corresponding to the two possible ms values).
There will be 6 electrons in the full second orbital, being that- s=2 p=6 d=10 f=14
A total number of 8 electrons. Two in the 2s orbital and six in the 2p orbital
Carbon has 4 electrons on its second shell. This is calculated based on the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the second shell, which is 8.

Each atom of lithium will have 3 electrons. Two electrons will fill the 1s orbital, and the third electron will occupy the 2s orbital, following the electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^1.
Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, following the Pauli exclusion principle which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.
8 electrons. The second energy level (n=2) has 4 orbitals. One s orbital and three p orbitals. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons of opposite spin.
An atom with the first two electron orbitals completed would have 10 total electrons. The first electron orbital can hold up to 2 electrons (2 in the s subshell), and the second electron orbital can hold up to 8 electrons (2 in the s subshell and 6 in the p subshell).
The S orbital contains a maximum of two electrons
