    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 ".
