6 electrons can ocupy the 2p, 3p, 4p, and so on.
each p subshell has 3 orbitals, and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, so each p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons total.

Is The 9i orbital permitted?
There is technically a 9i orbital, but no atom in the ground state has any electrons in this orbital (in fact, no known element has any electrons in even the 8s orbital, and there are quite a few energy levels between that and 9i). In an excited state ... sure, it could happen.
How much electrons can be in a 3f orbital?
There can be a maximum of 14 electrons in any "f" orbital. However, the 3f orbital does not exist. f orbitals are only found in quantum energy level 4 and above.
The number of electrons a single d orbital can hold is?
2. The five d orbitals can hold ten in total.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy 3p?
Since they are p orbitals, 6 electrons are occupied in the 3p orbital. there are 3 types of p orbital, px, py and pz
How many ways are there to arrange 2 electrons in p-orbital and d-orbital?
In any one orbital there is only one way to arrange the two electrons and that is with opposite spin. (Paulis exlusion principle) In the 3 different p orbitals you could arrange 2 electrons without spin pairing in the same orbital in 3 ways, The middle two are the same. The same applies to d orbitals
In an atom the first orbital is complete when it has how many electrons?
Any orbital is complete when it contains 2 electrons.
What is the name of the state of the electrons when the electrons have not gained any energy and they are resting comfortably in the lowest possible orbital?
Ground state.
What is the hightest number of electrons allowed in one orbital?
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
How many electrons can a single orbital hold in the 3d level?
Yes a single orbital in the 3d level can hold 2 electrons.
How many electrons can any orbital hold according to Pauli Exclusion Principle?
When you fill an orbital the electrons must spin in opposite directions. This results in no two electrons having the same quantum number, a result defined as the Pauli Exclusion Principle. You can have 2 electrons in an orbital. Note that 2py 2px and 2pz are three different orbitals.
How many electrons tan fit in the 1st orbila shell?
Two electrons can fit into the first orbital shell of any atom.
Is The 9i orbital permitted?
There is technically a 9i orbital, but no atom in the ground state has any electrons in this orbital (in fact, no known element has any electrons in even the 8s orbital, and there are quite a few energy levels between that and 9i). In an excited state ... sure, it could happen.
Maximum number of electrons in 3p orbital?
The max. number of electrons that can fill the 3s orbital is 2.
How much electrons can be in a 3f orbital?
There can be a maximum of 14 electrons in any "f" orbital. However, the 3f orbital does not exist. f orbitals are only found in quantum energy level 4 and above.
Maximum number of electrons in 2s orbital?
The 2p sub-level can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. The 2p sub-level is divided into 2px, 2py and 2pz. Each of those orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. There are 3 of them and thus 6 total for the 2p sub-level.
The number of electrons a single d orbital can hold is?
2. The five d orbitals can hold ten in total.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy 3p?
Since they are p orbitals, 6 electrons are occupied in the 3p orbital. there are 3 types of p orbital, px, py and pz
