The answer for the following question is explained below.
Therefore the total number of orbitals are " 9 ".
Explanation:
Orbital:
An orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron,electron pair,or the nucleons.
The total number of orbitals present in the 3rd energy level is 9.
Here,
A 3 s subshell has only one orbital.
A 3 p subshell has three orbitals.
A 3 d subshell has five orbitals.
Therefore the total number of orbitals is:
3 s = 1 orbital
3 p = 3 orbitals
3 d = 5 orbitals
total orbitals in 3rd energy level is = 1 + 3 + 5 =9
Therefore the total number of orbitals are " 9 ".
