The azimuthal quantum number (l) determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.
s-orbitals (for example 1s, 2s) are spherically symmetric around the nucleus of the atom.
p-orbitals are dumb-bell shaped. l = 0,1...n-1, when l = 1, that is p subshell.
d-orbitals are butterfly shaped.
