How many orbitals are allowed in a subshell if the angular momentum quantum number for electrons in that subshell is 3?

7 orbitals are allowed in a sub shell if the angular momentum quantum number for electrons in that sub shell is 3.

Explanation:

We that different values of m for a given l provide the total number of ways in which a given s, p,d and f sub shells in presence of magnetic field can be arranged in space along x, y ,z- axis or total number of orbitals into which a given subshell can be divided.

    Range for given l lies between -l to +l .

The possible values of m are -3 , -2 , -1 , 0 , 1 ,2 , 3 .

    Total number of orbitals are 7.
