The lower case letter in the symbol represents the subshell that the electron is in. It is a way to indicate the energy level and shape of the electron's orbit. Upper case letters are used for the element's name, while lower case letters are used for subshell designation.
The 3s subshell is farther from the nucleus
Two electrons can occupy the 2s subshell, and 8 electrons can occupy the 3d subshell.
The K shell is the first shell in an atom and has only one subshell, which is the 1s subshell. This subshell can hold up to 2 electrons.
A 2s subshell and a 2p subshell can be distinguished by their shape and energy levels. The 2s subshell is spherical and has a lower energy than the 2p subshell, which has a dumbbell shape and is oriented along specific axes (x, y, z). Additionally, the 2s subshell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while the 2p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons. These differences in shape, energy, and electron capacity help identify each subshell.
Yes, "4f" is a valid orbital shell designation in the electronic configuration of atoms. It represents the fourth energy level and the f subshell within that energy level.
9. The number of orbitals in a given shell fit the equation 2(L)+1, where L=the angular quantum number. L=0 corresponds with the s orbital, L=1 with p orbital, L=2 with d orbital, L=3 with f orbital, L=4 with g orbital, and L=5 with h orbital.
The maximum number of unpaired electrons in the s subshell is 2, in the p subshell is 6, in the d subshell is 10, and in the f subshell is 14. This is based on the maximum number of electrons that can occupy each subshell according to the Aufbau principle and the Pauli exclusion principle.

It is 's' subshell.
In a lithium atom, the energy of the 2s subshell is lower than the energy of the 2p subshell.
The f subshell can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.
The f subshell has seven orbitals, with one of them having four lobes and two of them having three lobes. The other four orbitals have varying numbers of lobes.
