Question

List the possible subshells for the $n = 6$ shell.

Answer

The shell whose principal quantum number $n = 6$, includes the following subshells

So, the $n = 6$ shell includes three subshells, namely 6s, 6p and 6d.

Subshell 6s involves 1 orbital, subshell 6p involves three orbitals ($6p_x$, $6p_y$ and $6p_z$) and subshell 6d involves five orbitals ($6d_{xy}$, $6d_{xz}$, $6d_{yz}$, $6d_{x^2 - y^2}$ and $6d_{z^2}$).

Though the 6f subshell is theoretically possible for $n = 6$ shell, atoms with such subshell do not exist.
