Question

what is the maximum number of orbitals in the p sublevel? 4 5 3 2

Explanation:

In atomic structure, for a given sub - level (denoted by the azimuthal quantum number \(l\)), the number of orbitals is given by \(2l + 1\). For the \(p\) sub - level, \(l = 1\). Substituting \(l = 1\) into the formula \(2l+1\), we get \(2\times1 + 1=3\).
