The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Correct answer: 6
Explanation:
A p-orbital consists of three degenerate orbitals (i.e., \( p_x, p_y, p_z \)). Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons with opposite spins.
So, the maximum number of electrons in all three p-orbitals is: \[ 3 \times 2 = 6 \]
Hence, the correct answer is: 6.
