$2\mathrm{p}^6$, $4\mathrm{p}^1$ are not orbitals.
It is a partial description of an atom electron configuration, saying there are 6 electrons in 3 orbitals $2\mathrm{p}$, respectively 1 electron in the orbital $4\mathrm{s}$.
$2$ in $2\mathrm{p}$ means the (main, energy ) quantum number $n=2$. $n$ can have values 1, ... |
I was wondering whether there is any quantum mechanical equation to describe the force on a given electron in a given orbital of an atom (lets say, for the simplest case, for hydrogen atom). Also if it exists then what is the use of effective nuclear charge? |

Yes, it is possible. If you electrolyze MgSO4(aq), one of the products will be magnesium hydroxide. If you you add Hydrochloric acid to it you get magnesium chloride 2HCl(aq)+Mg(OH)₂(s)⟶MgCl₂(aq)+2H₂O(l), electrolyze that and you get magnesium and chlorine gas, the last step must be done outdoors
