Question

Which types of orbitals are found in the principal energy level n = 3?

A.
s, d
B. s, p, d
C. SP
D.
spf
E.
s, d, f

Answer 1

B. s, p, d
Within each shell of an atom there are some combinations of orbitals. In the n=1 shell you only find s orbitals, in the n=2 shell, you have s and p orbitals, in the n=3 shell, you have s, p and d orbitals and in the n=4 up shells you find all four types of orbitals.
