Answer:
Explanation:
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom at different ranges, called shells. Each shell has a different energy level, increasing the further it is from the nucleus. Each energy level is given a number called the principal quantum number, n. ... The n number determines how many of the subshells make up the shell.

Explanation:
Shell
An electron shell is an orbit which is followed by the electrons around an atom's nucleus.
Subshell
A subshell is the set of states which are defined by the azimuthal quantum number (l), within a shell.
The values are as follows.
- l = 0 corresponds to s subshell.
- l = 1 corresponds to p subshell.
- l = 2 corresponds to d subshell.
- l = 3 correspond to f subshell.
The maximum number of electrons which can occupy a subshell is given by the formula
2(2l + 1).
