Calcium's outermost electrons occupy the 4s orbital.
Outer energy level electrons, or valence electron.
Electrons with the greatest energy are found in the outermost sublevels, typically in the s or p sublevels of an atom. These sublevels are farther from the nucleus and have higher energy levels than the inner sublevels.
The Bohr atom model of Potassium describes the arrangement of electrons in a potassium atom with 19 electrons. According to the model, electrons occupy specific energy levels or orbits around the nucleus, with the outermost level containing 8 electrons in the case of potassium.
Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms). This means that paired electrons must have opposite spins (ms values) to occupy the same orbital.
Electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, which is prescribed by three rules - the aufbau principle, the Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule. (1) aufbau principle - States that each elcetron occupies the lowest energy orbital available. (2) Pauli exclusion principle - States that a maximum of two electrons may occupy a single atomic orbital, but omly if the electrons have opposite spins. (3) Hund's rule - States that single electrons with the same spin must occupy each equl-energy orbital before additional electrons with pposite spins can occupy the same orbitals.
The outermost electrons of vanadium are located in the 4s and 3d orbitals. These electrons generally occupy the 4s orbital before filling the 3d orbitals.
2 electrons is the maximum number for an single orbital.
of course they can. They have to be of opposite spin and two is the maximum number that can occupy one orbital.

Outer energy level electrons, or valence electron.
There are a total of six electrons that occupy the p orbital of a neutral silicon atom. The p sublevel can hold a maximum of six electrons, with each p orbital accommodating two electrons with opposite spins.
Spin
Two electrons can occupy the same orbital if they have opposite spins. Pauli's exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers, which include spin.
Every orbital is different. 2 can occupy the first orbital then 8 can occupy mostly the rest. When you start getting really low on the periodic table orbitals start holding 16, but not till u get really low

No, according to the Pauli exclusion principle, no two electrons can have the same set of quantum numbers in an atom. This means that two electrons cannot occupy the same space orbital if they have the same spin.
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.
