    3 (s, p, d)

    Explanation:

    Principle energy levels number of sublevels number of electrons

    1 1s 2n² = 2 (1) ² = 2

    2 2s 2n² = 2 (2) ² = 8

    2p

    3 3s 2n² = 2 (3) ² = 18

    3p

    3d

    when an atom has 3 energy level it has 1 sublevel (s) in 1st energy level 2 sublevels (s ans p) in second energy and three sublevels in third energy level (s, p, d). This atom with n=3 can accommodate 18 electrons in these sublevels.
