Answer:

Principle quantum number, n = 2

l = 0, 1

if l = 0 , m = 0

l = 1, m = -1, 0, +1

Total number of orbitals = 4

Principle quantum number, n = 3

l = 0, 1, 2

if l = 0 , m = 0

l = 1, m = -1, 0, +1

l = 2,  m = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2

Total number of orbitals = 9

Explanation:

Principle quantum number, n = 2

L can take values from 0 to n-1 .

So, l = 0, 1

The values of m = -l to l

So, if l = 0 , m = 0

l = 1, m = -1, 0, +1

Total number of orbitals = 4 which are s orbital (l =0) and 3 p orbitals (l =1)

Principle quantum number, n = 3

L can take values from 0 to n-1 .

So, l = 0, 1, 2

The values of m = -l to l

So, if l = 0 , m = 0

l = 1, m = -1, 0, +1

l = 2,  m = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2

Total number of orbitals = 9 which are s orbital (l =0) and 3 p orbitals (l =1) and 5 d orbitals (l = 2)
