What subshells are possible in n = 3 energy level?
For n = 3 energy level, the possible values of l are 0, 1 and 2. Thus, there are three subshells namely:
l = 0, s subshell ; l = 1, p subshell ; and l = 2, d subshell.
Using s, p, d notations describe the orbital with the following quantum numbers :
(a) n = 1, l = 0,
(b) n = 3, l = 1,
(c) n = 4, l = 2,
(d) n = 4, l = 3.
