Recall that the p subshell corresponds to the azimuthal quantum number \( l = 1 \).
The number of orbitals in any subshell is given by the formula \( 2l + 1 \).
Substitute \( l = 1 \) into the formula: \( 2(1) + 1 = 3 \).
Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, but the question asks only for the number of orbitals, not electrons.
Therefore, the p subshell contains 3 orbitals.
