How many 2p orbitals are there and what is the number of electrons they can hold?

There are three 2p orbitals and each can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins, for a total of 6 electrons. This is true of the p sublevel in any energy level, except for the first energy level, which does not have a p sublevel.

How many electrons can the d sub level hold?
10. The d sublevel has 5 orbitals that can each hold two electrons of opposite spin.
How many orbitals are there for each level and the number of electrons?
1st energy has 1 sublevel -- 1 orbital -- 2 electrons 2nd energy level has 2 sublevels -- 4 orbitals -- 8 e- 3rd energy level has 3 sublevels -- 9 orbitals -- 18 e- 4th energy level has 4 sublevels -- 16 orbitals -- 32 e- Notice the pattern? number of orbitals = energy level squared Number of electrons = 2x number of orbitals

Do atom orbitals contain thousands of electrons or just a few electron?
If you look at a periodic chart, you will see that each element has a number. That number gives the number of protons and electrons that each element contains. There are limits to the number of electrons that any orbital can contain. The orbitals are labeled: s, p, d, f, g, h, i, k. The first two atoms in the periodic table, Hydrogen and Helium, only have an s orbital. The s orbital holds two electrons. When the s orbital is full, as with Helium, it can not react with anything else. Helium is inert. The next row in the periodic table contains the p orbital. When the p orbital is full, as in Neon, then it can not react. If you look at the periodic table, the orbitals can hold more electrons and each element can hold more orbitals. If it becomes possible to create an element with several hundred protons, the orbitals could hold many electrons.
