3, each of which can hold 1 or 2 electrons.
Please note that many chemists would say that there were always 3 p orbitals in the p sublevels, they may, however not all be occupied by electrons.
6 electrons in 3 orbitals of p-sublevel: px, py and pz
The 3rd period contains 2 of the 3 orbitals for the third sublevel. It has the s and p orbitals in it.
You would have to determine the electron configuration for atoms of a given element. Each s sublevel contains 1 orbital, each p sublevel contains 3 orbitals, each d sublevel contain 5 orbitals, and each f sublevel contains 7 orbitals. Click on the related link to see a periodic table that shows electron configurations for the elements.
In chemistry, sub orbitals are the paths that electrons follow in the shells. They go in this order: s (x1) p(x6) d (x10) and f (x14) (It is very important that they are in lower case) There is only 1 's' orbital in each shell. Shell 1: 's': 2 electrons Shell 2: 's' and 'p': 8 electrons. etc Remember that electrons fill up the smaller sub orbitals first, so if electrons have to choose between 'f' and 's' they will always choose 's' . Hope that helps!
All of the orbitals in the same energy sublevel (s, p, d, f) have the same amount of energy. For example, each of the 3p orbitals have the same energy and all of the electrons in the 3p orbitals have the same energy.
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.

All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.

Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.
In the principal energy level n = 3, there are s, p, and d orbitals. The s sublevel has 1 orbital, the p sublevel has 3 orbitals, and the d sublevel has 5 orbitals. These orbitals can hold up to a total of 18 electrons.
3 px py pz each with 2 electrons
6 electrons in 3 orbitals of p-sublevel: px, py and pz
there are actually 7 orbitals.. the different orbitals are s,p,d,f s has 1, p has 3, d has 5, and f has 7. i hope this helps you..i got this info straight from my chem teacher..
I try to answer your question sub shell no. of orbitals s 1 p 3 d 5 f 7 Hope you will be satisfied
The s sub-level can hold a maximum of two electrons; , p a maximum of 6; d, a maximum of 10 and f, a maximum of 14 (although the f sub-level is only present in the lanthanide and actanide series).
