"dumbell". It has 3 orbitals which means it can hold 6 electrons. P orbitals starts with the second energy level because the first is too small.
It enters the f sublevel.
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.
There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)
because sublevel p has 3 orbital and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons meanwhile sublevel s only has 1 orbital and each can hold 2 electrons therefore sublevel p can hold more

The halogens have 5 electrons in the p sublevel.
The p-block is just a part of the periodic table, from Group13 to Group 18. (13,14,15,16,17,18)The periodic table has four blocks: s-block, d-block, p-block, and f-block.I will add a link so you can visualize this...The p-block is called like that because the p sublevel of its atoms is being filled with electrons.P.S. The s sublevel fills completely with 2electrons.The p sublevel fills completely with 6electrons.The d sublevel fills completely with 10electrons.The f sublevel fills completely with 14electrons.
There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)
