I dont understand how to answer these orbitals. As far as i know it all goes like: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 (how would 3d go?)
A question came along and asked me ''A modern model of the atom arranges electrons into orbitals, sub-shells and shells. Complete the following table showing the maximum number of electrons which can be found within each region.''
Number of electrons a 2p orbital the 3s sub-shell the 4th shell
I thought 2p would be 6 (2p6) 3s would be 2 (3s2) and 4th shell would be 2 (3s2) but answers tell me it is
a 2p orbital 2 the 3s sub-shell 2 the 4th shell 32

How do I work these out correctly?
Just need to learn these: - An orbital can only ever hold 2 electrons - s sub-shell holds 2 electrons (p sub-shell holds 6, d subshell holds 10) - 1st shell holds 2 (s only), 2nd shell holds 8 (s and p), 3rd shell holds 18 (s,p,d), 4th shell holds 32 (s,p,d,f - not that you need to know about the f subshell!)

why does the answer say the 2p subshell has 2 electrons, not 6?
