All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.
Zero. Calcium has two electrons in its 4s sublevel, and none in the 3d sublevel. The 3d sublevel doesn't start filling until after the 4s sublevel is filled.
When the 3d orbitals are completely filled, the new electrons will enter the 4s orbital before filling the 3d orbitals. This is because the 4s orbital has a lower energy level than the 3d orbitals, making it the first choice for accommodating additional electrons.
D orbitals start to get filled after the 3p orbitals in the periodic table. They are typically filled after filling the 4s orbital, as the 3d orbitals are the next to be filled in the transition metal series.
Calcium is the element that has 2 electrons in the 4s sublevel.
The 4s orbital falls in a slightly lower energy level than the 3d orbital when it is empty so it will fill with electrons first, but when it is full of electrons it rises to be above the 3d one so that it will lose electrons first as well.
The 4s orbital is energetically lower than the 3d orbital, so electrons preferentially occupy the 4s orbital first in atoms like calcium and potassium. Electrons fill orbitals based on their energy levels, following the Aufbau principle, which explains why the valence electrons of these elements reside in the 4s orbital.
Electrons occupy orbitals in a definite sequence, filling orbitals with lower energies first. Generally, orbitals in a lower energy level have lower energies than those in a higher energy level. But, in the third level the energy ranges of the principal energy levels begin to overlap. As a result, the 4s sublevel is lower in energy than the 3d sublevel, so it fills first.

The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel.

The elements that have 2 electrons in the 4s sublevel are calcium (Ca) and scandium (Sc).
Ca
Both the 3s and 4s sublevels are part of the s orbital, meaning they have spherical symmetry. They both contain electrons with similar energy levels, with the 4s sublevel having higher energy than the 3s sublevel.
