There are 2, the 2s and 2p subshells.
The s subshell contains just one orbital and can hold only two electrons (of opposite spin)
The p subshell contains 3 orbitals each of which can hold just 2 electrons (of opposite spin) making 6 electrons in all

The lowest energy shell that contains f orbitals is the shell with n equals?
4
Can 3f orbital be exist?
no because f orbitals are not energetically available until the n=4 quantum state
Which set of quantum numbers cannot occur together to specify an orbital?
Quantum numbers specify the orbitals in an atom. The set of numbers that cannot occur is n=3,I=3, m(sub)I=2 because there are no F-orbitals.
How are orbitals and energy levels related?
The principal quantum number, n, designates the main energy levels occupied by electrons. The number of orbitals in an energy level is n2 (n squared), so that the first energy level, n = 1, contains 1 orbital; the second energy level, n = 2, contains 4 orbitals; the third energy level, n= 3, has 9 orbitals; and the fourth energy level, n=4, has 16 orbitals, and so on.
How many orbitals does oxygen have?
Oxygen is in period 2 of the periodic table, telling you that it has n=2 or 2 orbits. The number of orbitals would be 1 in n=1 and 4 in n=2 for a total of 5 orbitals, if that is what you mean. Looking at it another way: for n=1, there is 1s (1 orbital); for n=2, there is 2s (1 orbital) and 2p (3 orbitals). The electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p4
How many f orbitals have the value n equals 2?
2
How many orbitals exist for n equals 4?
16 orbitals
The lowest energy shell that contains f orbitals is the shell with n equals?
4
Why NCl3 gets readily hydrolyzed while NF3 does not?
this is so bcoz neither F nor N has vacant orbitals(remember no d-orbitals)...whereas Cl in NCl3 has vacant d-orbitals to accomodate elctrons n get hydrolysed..
How many p orbitals exist for an atom with principal quantum number n equals 2?
n=2 has 3 2p orbitals.
For an atoms electrons how many energy sublevels are present in the principal energy level n 4?
It depends which n since n is the row (period) number. 1st n = 1-s subshell, 1 orbital, and 2 electrons. 2nd n = 2-s subshell with 1 orbital and 2 electrons + 2-p subshell with 3 orbitals and 6 electrons.
Can 3f orbital be exist?
no because f orbitals are not energetically available until the n=4 quantum state
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 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
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")
How many electrons occupy p orbitals in a(n) bismuth atom?
24
What is the maximum of the orbitals in the p sublevel?
in a "s" sublevel there are a max of 2 electrons located on 1 orbital. in a "p" sub level there are a max of 6 electrons located on 3 orbitals. in a "d" sub level there are a max of 10 electrons located on 5 orbitals. Extra: within a level (n=2 or n=3 etc) the number of orbitals (adding all the s, p, d etc) is n^2. so in a n=2 level, there are 4 orbitals (1 for 2s, 3 for 2p..1+3=4)
