Px, Py and Pz.
The 3 orbitals have the same shape (a figure of 8 as a 2-dimensional drawing but think 3-d, like 2 balloons tied together), and are oriented in space differently.
If you draw a 3-dimensional (Cartesian) set of axes, the y axis will be in the plane of the paper pointing right, the z axis will be in the plane of the paper pointing up, and the x axis will be coming out of the paper towards you. The Px, Py and Pz notation simply comes from having a p-orbital on each of the 3 axes.

How many orbitals are in the following sublevel 4s sublevel?
All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.
What is concept of hybridization?
hybridization is defined as the intermixing of different orbitals with different energies to form a new set of orbitals with equivalent energies and shapes
What does the 3 in the exuation 4p3 represent?
In s.p.d.f. notation, the first number is the main energy level (quantum shell), also known as n. In this case, n = 4, hence this is the 4th energy level we are talking about.The letter in the middle is the orbital in that energy level. There are s-orbitals, p-orbitals, d-orbitals and f-orbitals. Here we are talking about the p-orbitals of the 4th main energy level (i.e. the dumbbell shaped orbitals).The final number of the notation is the number of electrons occupying that orbital of that energy level. All s-orbitals can only hold up to 2 electrons, p-orbitals can hold up to 6 electrons, d-orbitals up to 10, and so on. The 3 in "4p3" is hence referring to the 3 electrons in the p-orbital of the 4th energy level.I hope that helps! :)
What is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud?
The electron configuration of an atom is the arrangement of electrons in the electron cloud around the nucleus of the atom. This is an indication of the different orbitals that are occupied by electrons in the atom.
How is a molecular orbital formed?
In molecular orbital theory, MO theory, molecular orbitals are "built" from atomic orbitals. A common approach is to take a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO), specifically symmetry adapted linear combinations (SALC) using group theory. The formation of a bond is essentially down to the overlap of the orbitals, the orbitals being of similar energy and the atomic orbital wave functions having the correct symmetry.
What is orbitals called?
The different orbitals are s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals, and f orbitals.
What are the different electronic orbitals?
atomic orbitals and electron orbitals
The notation specific to the organization or arrangement of elements within orbitals surrounding the nucleus of an atom?
The notation specific to the organization or arrangement of electrons within orbitals surrounding the nucleus of an atom is called electron configuation.
What is the difference between orbital notation and electron configuration?
well, its quite obvious.orbital notation is the notaion of orbitals and electron configuration notation is the configuration of electrons?!??!?!kthanksbye
How many orbitals are in the following sublevel 4s sublevel?
All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.
The electron cloud is divided into what?
The electron cloud is divided into s, p, d, and f orbitals. These orbitals also occur at different principle energy levels.
What is concept of hybridization?
hybridization is defined as the intermixing of different orbitals with different energies to form a new set of orbitals with equivalent energies and shapes
What does orbital notation show that electron configuration does not?
Orbital notation shows how the electrons are arranged in the orbitals of the sublevels. Electron configuration shows only how many electrons are in each sublevel.
How many different s orbitals are there?
5

How many different types of orbitals aré there?

Why is the d-block called the d-block?
D-block was named by analogy with the spectroscopic notation of atomic orbitals. D is from diffuse.
