Heya friend ...☺☺☺
Here is your answer .. ❇❇❇❇
An orbital can contain a maximum of only two electrons, the two electrons must have opposing spins. If there were more than two electrons in an orbital, electrons would have same spins.
Two electrons in an orbital create opposite electric and magnetic fields due to their spin. Now , if a third electron enters it's spin will be same as any one of the two electrons of orbit, so repulsive force will be acted and third electron will not enter into the orbit.
