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.

What are the differences between the 1s orbital and the 2s orbital in terms of their electron configuration and energy levels?

What is the maximum number of electrons in the 2px orbital of an atom?

When n=2, you have an s orbital with 2 electrons, and you have 3 p orbitals each with 2 electrons (total of 6). So, total number of electrons for n=2 is 8 electrons.


The 3s orbital differs from 2s orbital in that it is?

The 2s orbital and 3s orbital both have the same spherical shape and can hold a maximum of two electrons of opposite spin. They only differ because the 3s orbital is further out from the nucleus than the 2s orbital, thus the 3s orbital has a higher energy value.
