In a tetrahedral molecule eg methane (CH4), hybridisation occurs between the 2s orbital and three p orbitals to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals. See: http://www.chem1.com/acad/webtext/chembond/cb06.html and: http://www.mikeblaber.org/oldwine/chm1045/notes/Geometry/Hybrid/Geom05.htm
There is one s orbital and three p orbitals and five d orbitals in the third energy level.
three maximum starting from 3p
P orbitals at the same energy level have the same energy but differ in their spatial orientation. There are three p orbitals at each energy level (labeled as px, py, pz) that are oriented along the x, y, and z-axes, respectively. These orbitals have the same energy, but they have different spatial shapes and orientations.
There are a total of four orbitals that can exist at the second main energy level: one s orbital and three p orbitals. The second main energy level corresponds to the n=2 energy level in an atom according to the Aufbau principle.
The third principal energy level consists of s, p, and d atomic orbitals. Specifically, there are one 3s orbital, three 3p orbitals, and five 3d orbitals in the third principal energy level.
All three 2p orbitals (2px, 2py, 2pz) are occupied by two electrons each.(6 electrons in total: (2px2, 2py2, 2pz2) = 2p6)
In the principal energy level n = 3, there are s, p, and d orbitals. The s sublevel has 1 orbital, the p sublevel has 3 orbitals, and the d sublevel has 5 orbitals. These orbitals can hold up to a total of 18 electrons.
They can only have 1 S ORBITAL per energy level (1s, 2s, 3s...). Each S orbital consists of 2 electrons of opposite spin.
The 3 in the equation 4p3 represents the exponent or power to which the variable p is raised. It indicates that the variable p is multiplied by itself three times. In other words, it means p raised to the power of 3 or p cubed.
In s.p.d.f. notation, the first number is the main energy level (quantum shell), also known as n. In this case, n = 4, hence this is the 4th energy level we are talking about.The letter in the middle is the orbital in that energy level. There are s-orbitals, p-orbitals, d-orbitals and f-orbitals. Here we are talking about the p-orbitals of the 4th main energy level (i.e. the dumbbell shaped orbitals).The final number of the notation is the number of electrons occupying that orbital of that energy level. All s-orbitals can only hold up to 2 electrons, p-orbitals can hold up to 6 electrons, d-orbitals up to 10, and so on. The 3 in "4p3" is hence referring to the 3 electrons in the p-orbital of the 4th energy level.I hope that helps! :)
The principal energy level that consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals has a quantum number of 2. The s orbital is part of the first principal energy level (n=1) and the p orbitals are part of the second principal energy level (n=2).
Each main energy level (1 to 7) has at least an s-orbital, p-orbitals are possible from the second level onwards (2 to 7) d-orbitals from 4th level f-orbitals from 6th level
