6 electrons can ocupy the 2p, 3p, 4p, and so on.

each p subshell has 3 orbitals, and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, so each p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons total.

How is an unoccupied orbital represented in orbital notation?

An unoccupied orbital is represented by an empty box in orbital notation. It does not have any electrons present in it but is available to accept electrons if needed.

Is The 9i orbital permitted?

There is technically a 9i orbital, but no atom in the ground state has any electrons in this orbital (in fact, no known element has any electrons in even the 8s orbital, and there are quite a few energy levels between that and 9i). In an excited state ... sure, it could happen.


How many electrons can any orbital hold according to Pauli Exclusion Principle?

When you fill an orbital the electrons must spin in opposite directions. This results in no two electrons having the same quantum number, a result defined as the Pauli Exclusion Principle. You can have 2 electrons in an orbital. Note that 2py 2px and 2pz are three different orbitals.


How much electrons can be in a 3f orbital?

There can be a maximum of 14 electrons in any "f" orbital. However, the 3f orbital does not exist. f orbitals are only found in quantum energy level 4 and above.


What is the electron capacity of any orbital?

it depends on which orbital: 1: 2 2: 8 3: 18 4: 32 5: 50 6: 72 7: 98 despite the large capacities, atoms will typically attempt to maintain 8 valence electrons.


What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy 5d subshells?

In any shell excluding shell1, there is only 1 s orbital and 1 p orbital. Subshells and the Orbitals are same. Orbital g is known as subshell 5. g orbital is present shell 6. But till today no element is discovered with an electron in g orbital.
