The main energy levels of an atom, also known as principal energy levels, are designated by the quantum number ( n ) (where ( n ) is a positive integer). Each principal energy level can contain one or more sublevels, which are determined by the angular momentum quantum number ( l ). The sublevels include s (l=0), p (l=1), d (l=2), and f (l=3), with each sublevel encompassing different types of orbitals that define the shape and orientation of the electron cloud. The combination of these sublevels contributes to the overall structure and properties of the atom.
The s sublevel in the third main energy level is indicated by 3s.
There are a total of four orbitals that can exist at the second main energy level: one s orbital and three p orbitals. The second main energy level corresponds to the n=2 energy level in an atom according to the Aufbau principle.
Sublevels are subdivisions of electron shells in an atom, representing different energy states where electrons can reside. The main sublevels are s, p, d, and f, each with distinct shapes and capacities: the s sublevel has a spherical shape and can hold 2 electrons, p has a dumbbell shape and holds 6 electrons, d has a more complex shape and accommodates 10 electrons, and f has an even more complex shape capable of holding 14 electrons. The order of filling these sublevels follows the Aufbau principle, which determines the electron configuration of atoms.
To determine how many more elections are needed to fill the outermost energy level of an atom, you need to know the number of electrons already present in that level and the maximum capacity of that level. The outermost energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons (following the octet rule) for main group elements. Subtract the number of existing electrons from 8 to find out how many more are needed to fill the level. For example, if there are 5 electrons in the outermost level, 3 more are needed to fill it.
No, the number of sublevels in an energy level is equal to the principal quantum number itself, not its square. The principal quantum number represents the main energy level or shell an electron occupies, while the sublevels (s, p, d, f) represent different orbital shapes within that energy level.
The main energy levels of an atom are indicated by principal quantum numbers, denoted by n. Each principal energy level can contain sublevels such as s, p, d, or f orbitals. Electrons occupy these energy levels based on the Aufbau principle.

Unfortunately it's hard to tell what you're asking. The answer may be that the energy levels are mainly determined by the first two quantum numbers; the other two quantum numbers are degenerate in the absence of a magnetic field. If that's not what you were looking for please ask again, but be a little clearer what you mean.

There are two sublevels in the second principle energy level. The s sublevel has one orbital and the p sublevel has 3, for a total of 4 orbitals.

The principal quantum number (n) represents the main energy level of an electron in an atom. It determines the energy level and distance of the electron from the nucleus.
The s sublevel in the third main energy level is indicated by 3s.
Helium has two electrons which completely fills the first principal quantum level.
