There are two subshells in the second energy level: 2s and 2p.
In any shell excluding shell1, there is only 1 s orbital and 1 p orbital. Subshells and the Orbitals are same. Orbital g is known as subshell 5. g orbital is present shell 6. But till today no element is discovered with an electron in g orbital.
Subshells are the different energy levels within an electron shell (designated by the letters s, p, d, f, etc.). The 's' subshell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons and is spherical in shape. Within each energy level, there can be one or more subshells, with the 's' subshell being the most basic and lowest in energy.
The number of subshells present in a principal energy shell is equivalent to the principal quantum number. For example, in the first principal energy shell (n=1), there is only one subshell (s). In the second principal energy shell (n=2), there are two subshells (s and p), and so on.
M shell notation: N = 3 contains 3 sub shells s,p and d (3s,3p and 3d) *according to my chemistry book.

If your are talking about s shell search then # of subshells equals n-1. So if n=3 the number of subshells is two. If your are talking about periodic chemistry the number of subshells for n=3 is six. If your are talking about the Weriner progression then ss= n!/(n-3)!
Five of them.

the d subshells
Subshell or Subshells
The m shell has three subshells: s, p, and d. Each subshell can hold a different number of electrons and is defined by different orbital shapes.
The number of electrons in the lowest electron shellis2 in the first or K shell (subshell 1s)---For other shells, the maximum is determined by the formula 2n2:2) 8 in the L shell (subshells 2s, 2p)3) 18 in the M shell (subshells 3s, 3p, 3d)4) 32 in the N shell (subshells 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f)5) 50 in the O shell (subshells 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f, 5g*)6) 72 in the P shell (subshells 6s, 6p, 6d, 6f, 6g, and an unnamed subshell)7) 98 in the Q shell (subshells 7s, 7p, 7d, 7f, 7g, and two unnamed subshells)* the highest existing subshells are 5f, 6d, and 7s* the highest currently predicted subshells are 7p and 8s* no existing element has more than 32 electrons in any shellThe maximum per subshell is determined by the formula 2(2L+1) (s is 0):s subshells can have 2 electronsp subshells can have 6 electronsd subshells can have 10 electronsf subshells can have 14 electronsg subshells can have 18 electrons*There are no elements with electrons past the f subshell, so the shells with 22 and 26 electrons have no name. The largest element created (Roentgenium, element 111) has 2 electrons in the 7s shell.
The number of subshells present in a principal energy shell is equivalent to the principal quantum number. For example, in the first principal energy shell (n=1), there is only one subshell (s). In the second principal energy shell (n=2), there are two subshells (s and p), and so on.

The fourth shell has 4 subshells, which are labeled s, p, d, and f. The s subshell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the p subshell can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, the d subshell can hold a maximum of 10 electrons, and the f subshell can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.
