In any orbital the maximum number of electrons is 2 of opposite spin.
The following is a list of the different types of orbitals and the maximum nuber of electrons each type can contain.
s-orbitals: one orbital, containing 2 electrons
p-orbitals: three (px, py, pz) containing 6 in total
d-orbitals: five, containing 10
f-orbitals: seven containing 14

What is the Maximum number of electrons into 4p orbital?
An orbital can only occupy maximum of 2 electrons. As p orbital consist of 3 orbitals. And has 3 orientations. Px, Py, Pz. So as there are 3 orbitals so p orbital can occupy at the maximum 6 electrons regardless of principle quantum no.. In 4p 4 is principle quantum no. So it represent 4p represent the p orbital of 4th shell. So it also occupy at the maximum of 6 electrons.
Does helium have the maximum number of valence electrons in its outer shell?
Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons that the orbitals can hold all together?
Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
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
Each elecrton orbital can contain a maximum number of how many electrons?
Each orbital contains maximum or 2 electrons. you could be either asking for this OR s orbital contains maximum of 2 electrons (has 1 orbitals) p orbital contains maximum of 6 electrons (has 3 orbitals) d orbital contains maximum of 10 electrons (has 5 orbitals)
What is the maximum number of electrons that are contained in as s orbital?
An s orbital can have a maximum of two electrons.
What is the maximum of electrons that can occupy one orbital?
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
Maximum number of electrons in 3p orbital?
The max. number of electrons that can fill the 3s orbital is 2.
What is the Maximum number of electrons into 4p orbital?
An orbital can only occupy maximum of 2 electrons. As p orbital consist of 3 orbitals. And has 3 orientations. Px, Py, Pz. So as there are 3 orbitals so p orbital can occupy at the maximum 6 electrons regardless of principle quantum no.. In 4p 4 is principle quantum no. So it represent 4p represent the p orbital of 4th shell. So it also occupy at the maximum of 6 electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons an f-orbital will hold?
14 electrons
What is the hightest number of electrons allowed in one orbital?
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy one orbit?
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
What is the Maximum number of electrons in the 5 orbital?
18
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy orbital?
6
Does helium have the maximum number of valence electrons in its outer shell?
Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
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.
What is the maximum number of electrons that every orbital can hold?
8
