Each orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons only different in their spin momentum: +1/2 and -1/2.

The 4s orbital is fully 'used' from Ca (no.20) onward: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

The 4s2 suborbital quantum numbers are: (s for spin direction: CW or CCW)

n=4, m=0, l=0, s= +1/2, or n=4, m=0, l=0, s= -1/2.

If calcium is in row 4 and column 2 how many orbitals does it have?

If it is in row 4 (4th period) it has 4 energy levels occupies. In the 2nd column (group 2A) it has 2 valence electrons. You ask how many orbitals it has. It has s and p orbitals. Is that what you mean? The configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 so there are 3 s orbitals and 6 p orbitals for a total of 9 orbitals.

How many types of orbitals are in the sixth shell?

There are four types of orbitals in the sixth shell: s, p, d, and f orbitals. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped, the d orbitals are cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbitals have more complex shapes. Each type of orbital can hold a specific number of electrons.
