Answer 2

Hello friend!!!

Atoms contain shells or orbits (imaginary)

Shells contain subshells ( s, p, d, f)
Here the probability of finding electrons is maximum.

Sub shells contain orbitals ( like orbitals of p are px, py and pz)

Azimuthal quantum number helps us to know in which sub shell the electron is present.
It is represented by l.

The value of l varies from 0 to (n-1), where n is the shell number, like 1, 2, 3, 4.....

The l value for
s sub shell is always 0
p sub shell is always 1
d sub shell is always 2
f sub shell is always 3
and so on.....

possible l values for n=3 are 0 to (3-1) i.e., 2
So l can be 0, 1 or 2.
Thus it can be 3s, 3p or 3d.


HOPE THIS HELPS..... :-)
