Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

subshells refer to the various energy levels within an atom where electrons can be found. These subshells are designated by specific letters (s, p, d, f) and are associated with different shapes and orientations of electron orbitals. The arrangement of electrons in subshells is governed by the principles of quantum mechanics and the Pauli exclusion principle, which dictate the filling order and maximum occupancy of electrons in each subshell.

In this context, we will explore which subshells are allowed in the lowest energy level that contains a d subshell and the lowest energy level that contains an f subshell. Understanding the allowed subshells in these energy levels is important for predicting electron configurations and the behavior of atoms in chemical reactions.
