Detailed explanation-1: -The electrons in an atom are arranged in shells that surround the nucleus, with each successive shell being farther from the nucleus. Electron shells consist of one or more subshells, and subshells consist of one or more atomic orbitals.
Detailed explanation-2: -The electrons surrounding an atom are located in regions around the nucleus called “energy levels”. An energy level represents the 3-dimensional space surrounding the nucleus where electrons are most likely to be.
Detailed explanation-3: -Energy levels (also called electron shells) are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found. As you go farther from the nucleus, electrons at higher energy levels have more energy. An orbital is a volume of space within an energy level where an electron is most likely to be found.
