The term "L-shell" typically refers to a specific set of electron orbitals in an atom. In the context of atomic physics and quantum mechanics, electrons are arranged in shells around the nucleus of an atom, and these shells are characterized by principal quantum numbers (n). The L-shell corresponds to the second principal quantum number (n = 2). It includes the subshells of 2s and 2p.
