What is the difference between shell, subshell, and orbital?
The electron's wave function forms standing waves, known as stationary states, which are defined by three quantum numbers, according to the Schroedinger equation for an electron bound to a spherically symmetric coulomb potential of a hydrogen-like nuclei.

An orbital is a region of space around the nucleus that is described by a set of quantum numbers. A shell is a group of atomic orbitals with the same principal quantum number (n). A subshell is a group of atomic orbitals within a shell with the same azimuthal quantum number (l).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
