Answer:

One single orbital can hold the maximum of 2 electrons.

Explanation:

The 2 electrons must have opposing spins otherwise they would have the same four quantum numbers, which is forbidden.

  • One electron would spin up
  • The other would spin down

This would tell us that each subshell would have double the electrons per orbital
