TaigaSublevels in an atom are designated by a combination of the principal quantum number (n) and a letter that represents the type of sublevel (s, p, d, or f). For example, the s sublevel is designated as n = 1, the p sublevel as n = 2, the d sublevel as n = 3, and the f sublevel as n = 4.

The divisions within a principal energy level are called?
The divisions within a principal energy level are called sublevels. These sublevels have different shapes and orientations within the principal energy level, and are designated by the letters s, p, d, and f.
Define the sub levels of elements?
Sublevels of elements refer to the energy levels within an atom where electrons are found. These sublevels are designated by the letters s, p, d, and f. Each sublevel has a maximum number of electrons it can hold (2 for s, 6 for p, 10 for d, and 14 for f) and they are arranged in order of increasing energy within an atom.
What outer sublevels are completely filled in a noble gas?
Noble gases have completely filled outer sublevels. For example, helium has a filled 1s sublevel, neon has filled 2s and 2p sublevels, and argon has filled 3s and 3p sublevels.
Are sublevels smaller or larger than energy levels?
Depends on what one means by "smaller". Since sublevels are "inside" or part of the principle energy level, then yes, they are smaller.
Which noble gas has 5 sublevels?
None of the noble gases have 5 sublevels. All noble gases have electron configurations that end in an s or p sublevel.
