In the first shell, there is only the 1s orbital, as this shell can have a maximum of only 2 electrons. Therefore, the 1p orbital doesn't exist.

In the second shell, both 2s and 2p orbitals exist, as it can have a maximum of 8 electrons.

In the third shell, only the 3s, 3p and 3d orbitals exist, as it can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. Therefore, the 3f orbitals do not exist.
