In a hypothetical system, all the known concepts of shell, subshell, orbitals, etc., exist in the same way as in our system except that the (n + 1) rule is modified to (n - 1) rule for deciding the subshell energy. In case of equal value of (n - 1), the higher value of n gives the higher energy.
For `n le 3`, the subshell having maximum energy for the above hypothetical system will be
