Question

how many p orbitals are there in a sublevel?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall orbital types

Orbitals are of different types (s, p, d, f).

Step2: Know p - orbital characteristics

For p - sublevel, the magnetic quantum number \(m_l\) values are \(- 1,0, + 1\). Each \(m_l\) value corresponds to one orbital.
So, the number of p orbitals in a sublevel is 3.
