The orbitals represent the possibility to find the electron at a particular place around the nucleus.Its an abstract term.The orbital can't affect the electron because the electron itself forms the orbital.So the orbital does not affect the electron, the electron affects the shape of the orbital.More specially, the orbital has some kind of shape because of the specific energetic condition of the electron.And with these specific, energetic conditions only specific shapes are ''allowed''.

what is the meaning of p orbital?
It is an orbital shape for electrons. It is further split into Px, Py and Pz. Each suborbital can hold 2 electrons, so P can hold 6 total. The shape of each is a dinbell or an infinity/8 sign, on the axis in question
Why does 4s orbital start filling while 3p orbital is empty?
The electrons fill in the lowest energy orbital that is available. Electrons in the 4s orbital have a lower energy level than electrons in the 3p orbital, so the 4s orbitals are filled with electrons first.
Electrons in an orbital with l equals 3 are in what orbital?
an f orbital
How many electrons maximum can be in one orbital?
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).
Which planet's orbital shape would be most similar to Jupiter's orbital shape?

The electrons fill in the lowest energy orbital that is available. Electrons in the 4s orbital have a lower energy level than electrons in the 3p orbital, so the 4s orbitals are filled with electrons first.
How many electrons can be in the S orbital?
The S orbital contains a maximum of two electrons
Electrons in an orbital with l equals 3 are in what orbital?
an f orbital
The 3s orbital differs from 2s orbital in that it is?
The 2s orbital and 3s orbital both have the same spherical shape and can hold a maximum of two electrons of opposite spin. They only differ because the 3s orbital is further out from the nucleus than the 2s orbital, thus the 3s orbital has a higher energy value.
The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set accommodates how many electron PAIRS?
there r 2 electrons in the s orbital, their r 6 electrons in p orbital , their r 10 electron's in the d orbital and 14 electrons in f orbital.
What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.
What is the maximum number of electrons that are contained in as s orbital?
An s orbital can have a maximum of two electrons.
How many electrons can single orbital hold?
A single orbital can hold up to two electrons.
What is the maximum of electrons that can occupy one orbital?
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
Why electrons pairing start with only 2p orbital in P subshell?
Electrons start pairing in the 1s orbital. A 1s orbital can take two electrons, represented by 1s2.
