What is the shapes of orbitals for which L equals 0 and L equals 1?

Assuming you mean l rather than L. (L is the total angular momentum of an atom in LS coupling, or the 2d principal energy shell in X-Ray spectroscopy))
l = 0 these are the spherically symmetric s orbitals
l=1; these are the three p orbital of dumbell shape px, py, pz, which point along the x, y, z axes.
s orbitals 2s and above have spherical nodes, a surface of zero probability.
p orbitals have a node at the nucleus and for 3p and above radial node(s).
Note the "shape" of orbitals as drawn in chemistry books is a representation of the electron density and shows the the volume that contains say 90% of the electron density when an electron occupies an orbital.

How many electrons in a ground-state tellurium atom are in orbitals labeled by l equals 1?
In a ground-state tellurium atom, there are no electrons in orbitals labeled by l equals 1. l equals 1 corresponds to p orbitals, and tellurium's electron configuration fills up to the 5p orbital. So, there are 0 electrons in orbitals with l equals 1 in a ground-state tellurium atom.
How many orbital shapes can exist in the 3rd energy level?
principal energy level (n)= 3 Number of orbitals per level(n2)= 9 it equals 9 because it is n2 (32=9) n=1. 1 orbital n=2. 4 orbitals n=3. 9 orbitals n=4. 16 orbitals n=5. 25 orbitals n=6. 36 orbitalsn=7. 49 orbitals
What is the maximum number of s orbitals p orbitals d orbitals and f orbitals in any single energy level in an atom?
For fun, let's give them numbers instead of letters, and call s "0", p "1", d "2", and f "3".Then the number of distinct orbitals for any given principal quantum number (which is a more precise way of the concept you meant when you said "energy level") is twice the number plus 1... though the principal quantum number must be higher than the numbers we just gave the orbitals in order for there to be any at all (there aren't any 1p orbitals, for example). For principal quantum number of at least four, there are 1 s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. If we call the four quantum numbers n, l, m, and s, where n is the principal quantum number, l is the azimuthal quantum number, m is the magnetic quantum number, and s is the spin quantum number, the permissible values are: n - any integer such that 0 < n ("shell") l - any integer such that 0 <= l < n (orbital "type" - s, p ,d ,f, g, h, i, etc.) m - any integer such that -l <= m <= l (individual orbitals of type l) s - -1/2 or +1/2 (electron "spin")
What will be the number of orbitals for n shells?
Each shell has a total of n2 orbitals, where n is the principal quantum number. For N shells the total orbitals is therefore :- N2 + (N-1)2 + (N-2)2 +....+1
How are electrons compiled on an atoms?
In orbitals and shells. Orbitals are hard to describe because they are shaped by relativistic quantum mechanics and can only be visualized as probability clouds not as physical shapes. Shells are composed of sets of orbitals. s orbital probability clouds are spherical. p orbital probability clouds are egg shaped ellipsoids. d orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with a donut around the middle unattached. f orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with two distorted donuts around the middle unattached. etc. Shell 1 has a single s orbital. Shell 2 has a single s orbital and 3 p orbitals. Shell 3 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 5 d orbitals. Shell 4 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. etc.
How many electrons in a ground-state tellurium atom are in orbitals labeled by l equals 1?
In a ground-state tellurium atom, there are no electrons in orbitals labeled by l equals 1. l equals 1 corresponds to p orbitals, and tellurium's electron configuration fills up to the 5p orbital. So, there are 0 electrons in orbitals with l equals 1 in a ground-state tellurium atom.
What is the Total number of orbitals in n equals 3?
n1 has 1 n2 has 4
How many orbital shapes can exist in the 3rd energy level?
principal energy level (n)= 3 Number of orbitals per level(n2)= 9 it equals 9 because it is n2 (32=9) n=1. 1 orbital n=2. 4 orbitals n=3. 9 orbitals n=4. 16 orbitals n=5. 25 orbitals n=6. 36 orbitalsn=7. 49 orbitals
How do you solve 2Sinx 1 equals 0?
2sinx+1 equals 0
Is anything to the power of 0 equals 1?
Everything to the power of 0 equals 1.
Is the set of quantum numbers of n equals 2 l equals 2 ml equals 0 allowed?
No, because is n=1, the electron is in the first energy level, therefore cannot have a l=2, because l= n-1. Or more simply put l=2 is a d-orbital, and there are no d-orbitals in the first energy level. ml=0 is correct because ml= +-l through 0.
Why does sec 0 equals 1?
Secant is 1 over cosine and cosine 0 equals 1.
CAN 0 plus equals B plus equals B?
Yes because if 1+0=1 than 0 plus b equals b
Can 1 plus 1 equals 0?
If it's 1 +-1 =0
How many orbitals are found in the second shell?
If the question is an attempt to ask "How many orbitals are there with principal quantum number n = 2", then 4 orbitals which can hold a total of 8 electrons.
What is the formula equals 1 plus 1 equals 2?
1 + 1 = 2 1 = 2 - 1 1 + 1 - 2 = 0 0 = 2 - 1 - 1
Why is 1 plus 0 equals 1?
because when you add 1 to 0 it is 2
