∙ 12y agoThere are seven spatial orientations for an f sub-level in an atom - one spherically symmetrical orbital, three dumbbell-shaped orbital pairs, and one more complex orbital shape.
7 I think
The 3rd period contains 2 of the 3 orbitals for the third sublevel. It has the s and p orbitals in it.
The maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals is 14, following the principle that each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons with different spins.

No, a 1p orbital does not exist. The p orbitals start at the n=2 energy level. Within the p subshell, there are three separate p orbitals (px, py, pz).

3d orbitals do exist and 2d orbitals dont exist because of the pauli exclusion principle which says only 6 electrons can exist in the 2nd shell, and you need at least 7 to get a d subshell
No, hybridized orbitals exist in molecules where atomic orbitals combine to form new hybrid orbitals. In isolated atoms, electrons occupy their respective atomic orbitals without hybridization occurring.

Yes, all the orbitals always "exist" whether or not they have electrons in them or not. Orbitals do not exist in that they don't have a physical form, but they describe where electrons can be and what energy they will have.In an analogy, orbitals are kind of like highways... just because no cars are on them, doesn't mean they don't exist, they are just empty! But of course, orbitals aren't made of concrete (or anything else), so the analogy isn't great...

Electrons are found in orbitals outside the nucleus of an atom.
