How many orbitals does the P sub shell contain

Contains 3 orbitals. Px, Py, Pz.

Explanation:

Orbitals are regions in space where there is a high probability of finding electron (s). Each p orbital can hold 2 electrons, which means 6 in total. Hence the p block of elements is six across. Orbitals are more specific in giving the exact location of electrons and scientists use these electronic configurations to identify and distinguish different elements.
