Aug 14, 2017 at 11:39 comment added Pritt says Reinstate Monica I would use just orbital instead of subsubshells. For example: A subshell is a combination of orbitals. However $\mathrm{s}$ is an orbital and a subshell.
Sep 14, 2016 at 17:24 comment added Dawood Ibrar Bilandkhel you are right .
Sep 14, 2016 at 17:20 comment added MaxW I can't think of a good word to replace the concept of sub-subshell in the way that the authors cited used the term. In general in chemistry if the orbitals in a subshell weren't degenerate then we'd use nomenclature to explain the specific electronic configuration. If the orbitals are degenerate then we'd say "the 2p orbitals," or "the p orbitals."
Sep 14, 2016 at 17:17 comment added Dawood Ibrar Bilandkhel agree with that
Sep 14, 2016 at 17:16 vote accept Dawood Ibrar Bilandkhel
Sep 14, 2016 at 17:14 comment added MaxW Let's just agree that the s, p, d, and f denote subshells of atoms and not peel this back that far.
Sep 14, 2016 at 17:05 comment added Dawood Ibrar Bilandkhel and what if orbital is used for s p d f and then what is a subshell
Sep 14, 2016 at 17:05 comment added Dawood Ibrar Bilandkhel so u mean that instead of sub-subshell I use the word orbitals?
