No. Electrons are fermions, meaning they cannot share the same set of four quantum numbers. Usually when we say "orbital" we only mean the first three, so there is room for two electrons in an orbital (corresponding to the two possible ms values).

How many electrons can a set of p type orbitals hold?

A set of p type orbitals can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, with each p orbital able to hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is because there are three p orbitals (px, py, pz) available for electrons to occupy in a given energy level.


How many electrons can occupy a single molecular orbital?

Every orbital is different. 2 can occupy the first orbital then 8 can occupy mostly the rest. When you start getting really low on the periodic table orbitals start holding 16, but not till u get really low
