So when we talk about p orbitals, it's similar to talking about s orbitals, and the difference lies, and now we have a different value for l, so l equals 1 for a p orbital, and we know if we have l equal 1, we can have three different total orbitals that have sub-shell of l equalling 1.

当我们考虑ｐ轨道时，这和ｓ轨道的情形和相似，不同之处在于ｌ的值不一样，对于ｐ轨道，ｌ等于１,我们知道如果ｌ等于１,我们有３个,不同的轨道。
