For a principle quantum number 3, there are three possible sub-shells. These are

3s, 3p, 3d. Azimuthal quantum no. is less than principle quantum number. There for

3s it is 0, for 3p it is 1, for 3d it is 2.

the answer is "no".


What does the second quantum number?

It's the azimuthal quantum number. It specifies the angular momentum of the orbital, which can broadly speaking be thought of as its "shape." (The reason I'm putting that in quotation marks is that it's possible for two orbitals with the same azimuthal quantum number to appear rather different in overall shape.)
