Answer

a. Sublevel 3d has 5 orbitals. b. The n=1 energy level has 1 sublevel. c. Sublevel 6s has 1 orbital. d. The n=3 energy level has 9 orbitals.

Work Step by Step

You can find the answer to this question on page 124, topics 'Sublevels' and 'Orbitals'. d. the n=3 energy level has 3 sublevels (s with one orbital, p with 3 orbitals and d with five orbitals) which means level 3 has 9 orbitals ( 1+3+5). figure 4.13 has the number of sublevels and orbitals of the energy levels 1,2,3 and 4.
