What else can I help you with?
How many sub shells are there?
Four sub-shells: s, p, d, f . Only artificially / theoretically in quantum mechanics there is a 5th sub shell 'g' and maybe 'h' is the 6th
How many spatial orientations orbitals exist for an f sub-energy level?
There are seven spatial orientations for an f sub-level in an atom - one spherically symmetrical orbital, three dumbbell-shaped orbital pairs, and one more complex orbital shape.
What is the total number of sub-shells for elements in period 5 of the periodic table?
Elements in period 5 of the periodic table have a total of four sub-shells: s, p, d, and f. The electron configuration of these elements includes the 5s, 5p, and 4d sub-shells, with the 4f sub-shell being filled in the subsequent period (period 6). Therefore, the total number of sub-shells available for elements in period 5 is four.
How many number of orbitals are present in each sub level?
In chemistry, sub orbitals are the paths that electrons follow in the shells. They go in this order: s (x1) p(x6) d (x10) and f (x14) (It is very important that they are in lower case) There is only 1 's' orbital in each shell. Shell 1: 's': 2 electrons Shell 2: 's' and 'p': 8 electrons. etc Remember that electrons fill up the smaller sub orbitals first, so if electrons have to choose between 'f' and 's' they will always choose 's' . Hope that helps!
Electrons in an orbital with l equals 3 are in what orbital?
Electrons with l equals 3 are in the f orbital. The f orbital has a complex shape with 7 suborbitals, each of which can hold up to 2 electrons.

Which sub shells are farthest from the nucleus?
As you go from s to p to d and then to f, you get further from the nucleus.
What are the different atomic orbitals?
You can break down the shell and orbitals of an atom on several levels of detail.First, there are the main shells of the atom, and these are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. (or like some doing it alphabetically K, L, M, N, ...).In the periodic table you will encounter them as seven periods.Each shell holds orbitals (sometimes called sub-shells, but they are not), and different shells have different numbers of orbitals associated with it. The higher the number of the main shell, the more orbitals it contains. In fact, the number of the main shell is equal to the number of orbitals it contains. The types of orbitals are labeled like this: s, p, d, f, and not so very important: g, h, i, etc (alphabetically after i).So far we have:Main shell #1-- contains one orbital (s-orbital)Main shell #2-- contains two orbitals (s-orbital, and p-orbital)Main shell #3-- contains three orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, and d-orbital)Main shell #4-- contains four orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, d-orbital, and f-orbital)etc...Now we can further break down orbitals! The p-orbital is actually composed of three sub-orbitals and the d-orbital is composed of 5 sub-orbitals and f-orbital in 7 sub-orbitals.So we have:s-orbital: just a single orbital, called just the s-orbitalp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, called the px-, py-, and pz-orbitalsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, called the dxy-, dxz-, dyz-, dx2-y2, and dz2-orbtialsf-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, called fz3, fxz2, fyz2, fxyz, fz(x2-y2), fx(x2-3y2), fy(3x2-y2).etc...And at last, but not least: each sub-orbital has a maximum of TWO electrons in it, only differing in electron spin number.So the maxima per orbital are:s-orbital: just a single orbital, max. 2 electronsp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, max. 6 electronsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, max. 10 electrons (= number of transitional elements)f-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, max. 14 electrons (= number of lanthanides, actinides)(Thanks to JEK, who's original answer I completed with the last paragraph and some minor add's in the first ones)
How many electrons does f orbital can hold up?
The f orbital can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.
Are electrons located only in specific shells around the nucleus of the atom?
Electrons are located in all the shells before the last shell but when doing equations and working things out, you only refer to the last shell. This is because the shells before the last shell are all full (the first one has only 2 electrons but the rest have 8) and only the outer shell electrons, known as valance electrons, react with other substances.
How many number of orbitals are present in each sub level?
In chemistry, sub orbitals are the paths that electrons follow in the shells. They go in this order: s (x1) p(x6) d (x10) and f (x14) (It is very important that they are in lower case) There is only 1 's' orbital in each shell. Shell 1: 's': 2 electrons Shell 2: 's' and 'p': 8 electrons. etc Remember that electrons fill up the smaller sub orbitals first, so if electrons have to choose between 'f' and 's' they will always choose 's' .

Describe the presence of sub shells in a shell?
A sub shell is an area inside an atom's electron shell that contains a type of electron orbital. Each and every atom consists of a central nucleus of one or more positive protons and zero or more chargeless neutrons, with electrons traveling about it the electrons are on shells
What is the atomic number of the first element to start filling an f sub-level?
The element cerium has a single electron in the 4f orbital. Its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f1 5d1 6s2.
Electrons in an orbital with l equals 3 are in what orbital?
Electrons with l equals 3 are in the f orbital. The f orbital has a complex shape with 7 suborbitals, each of which can hold up to 2 electrons.
What is the maximum number of electrons that the f sublevel can hold?
f has 14 electrons in 7 sublevel orbitals,d has 10 electrons in 5 sublevel orbitals,p has 6 electrons in 3 sublevel orbitals,s has 2 electrons in 1 sublevel orbital.
What is f-f transition?
f-f transition: the transition of an electron from an f orbital which is lower in energy to an f orbital which is higher in energy is a f-f transition.
