Answer:

6e

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of orbitals in each subshell:

S - 1

P - 3

D - 5

F - 7

The number of orbitals increases by 2

Subshell p has 3 orbitals, each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons. Therefore, 3p has an electron capacity of 6.

**Note: The number 3 in 3p only represents the shell number and does not influence the electron capacity.
