s-orbitals: 2.
p-orbitals: 6.
d-orbitals: 10.
f-orbitals: 14
(and, only theoretically, interesting: g, h, etc. orbitals with 18, 22, ... etc.)
[Cf. picture of orbital shapes in 'Related links' just below this answer page]
2, an orbital (not the orbit) is that region around the nucleus where maximum two electrons may live one with clockwise and other with anticlockwise spin.
2 per 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.
Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
Each orbital can hold a maximum of two 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)
Since they are p orbitals, 6 electrons are occupied in the 3p orbital. there are 3 types of p orbital, px, py and pz
An s orbital can have a maximum of two electrons.
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
The max. number of electrons that can fill the 3s orbital is 2.
14 electrons
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.
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
Any orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons

Yes it does. Helium has 2 electrons in the s orbital. A s orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
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.
