Classify these atomic orbitals as s, p, or d according to their shape.
The order of orbitals are:
s, p, d
since
s = 2 electrons ( 1 orbital, i.e. light blue sphere)
p = 6 electrons ( 6/2 = 3 orbitals, which are in x,y,z orientation, so only 2 globes per axis... best fit is PURPLE)
finally
d = has the most complex of all, so choose LIGHT GREEN
