s orbital	p orbitals	d orbitals	f orbitals	g orbitals
1s	2p_x	3d _x²_-y²	7 f orbitals *(there are 7 different f orbitals)*	g orbitals
	2p_y	3d_z2
	2p_z	3d_xy
		3d_xz
		3d_yz

Remember, as you look at these orbitals, you are seeing the graphic representation of mathematic equations (the ψ wave equations as defined by Ernest Schrodinger) - these orbitals describe the probability of finding an electron in that three dimensional volume of space around the nucleus.
