The maximum number of shells in the nth shell of an atom = 2n2

So, if n=3,

the maxmium number = 2 x 32 = 18

of course they can. They have to be of opposite spin and two is the maximum number that can occupy one orbital.


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.
