P orbitals have 3 sub-shells, each of which can hold one pair of electrons that have opposing spins. This leads to p orbitals holding a maximum of 6 electrons

Answer:

Maximun number of electrons in p-sublevel is 6

Explanation:

P orbital consists of three sublevels i.e. p(x), p(y) and p(z).

Each sublevel can contain maximum of two electrons.

So, total number of electrons in p- orbital = (3*2)=6

Notably, number of sublevels in an orbital are calculated by using quantum mechanics. Each sublevel is an acceptable solution of schrodinger equation.
