The total number of orbitals associated with the principle quantum number n=3 is 9. This can be derived from the formula 2n^2, where n is the principle quantum number.
For n=3, the total number of orbitals is calculated as 2*(3)^2 = 18. However, since each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons (with opposite spins), the total number of electrons that can be accommodated by these 9 orbitals is 18.
Therefore, for n=3, there are 9 orbitals and these 9 orbitals can hold a total of 18 electrons.
