Indicate the type and number of orbitals in each of the following energy levels or sublevels:
a. 3p \space sublevel b. n = 2 c. n = 3 d. 4d \space sublevel
a. The 3p sublevel contains three 3p orbitals.
b. The n = 2 energy level consists of one 2s and three 2p orbitals.
c. The n = 3 energy level consists of one 3s, three 3p, and five 3d orbitals.
d. The 4d sublevel contains five 4d orbitals.
