Answer:

A. The first energy level has 1 p orbital.

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy levels of the atom or electronic layers as they are also known, refer to the layers occupied by the electrons that revolve around the atom's nucleus. Each of these levels can be determined by a number from 1 to 7 or uppercase letters, represented in the alphabet by the letters K through Q.

So far, in all known atoms, electrons can occupy up to seven energy levels, represented respectively by the capital letters K, L, M, N, O, P and Q or by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. , 5, 6 and 7. The number of occupied energy layers (or energy levels) varies according to the amount of electrons in each atom, as can be seen in the next topic: electronic distribution. The first energy level has 1 s orbital
