The number of orbitals in a p-sub level of an atom is

An atom consists of electrons that occupy specific energy levels or shells around the nucleus. These shells are further divided into sub-levels. There are four types of sub-levels: s, p, d, and f. Each sub-level has a specific number of orbitals, which are regions of space where electrons are most likely to be found. The p-sub level has three orbitals. These orbitals are designated as px, py, and pz, each of which can hold a maximum of two electrons. Therefore, the p-sub level can hold a total of six electrons, which are distributed among the three orbitals. In summary, the number of orbitals in a p-sub level of an atom is three, and the correct option is (B) 3.
