s-orbitals: 2.

p-orbitals: 6.

d-orbitals: 10.

f-orbitals: 14

(and, only theoretically, interesting: g, h, etc. orbitals with 18, 22, ... etc.)

What is the Maximum number of electrons into 4p orbital?

An orbital can only occupy maximum of 2 electrons. As p orbital consist of 3 orbitals. And has 3 orientations. Px, Py, Pz. So as there are 3 orbitals so p orbital can occupy at the maximum 6 electrons regardless of principle quantum no.. In 4p 4 is principle quantum no. So it represent 4p represent the p orbital of 4th shell. So it also occupy at the maximum of 6 electrons.
