Yes, the given statement is true that an orbital is described by combining the n quantum number with the l quantum number, for example, 1s and 3p are descriptions of orbitals.
Quantum numbers are those numbers that are used to identify and describe the distribution and position of an electron in an atom.
In general, quantum numbers are classified as principal (n), angular (l) and magnetic (m) and consist of integers starting from 0, 1, 2, 3 and so on.
The estimated values for the principal quantum i.e. 'n' are 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
Similarly, for angular quantum numbers i.e. 'l' the values range between 0 and n - 1.
Orbitals are found in sub-shells and are made up of these quantum numbers i.e. n and l.
A two-digit code is assigned to an orbital e.g. 2p or 4f. Here 'n' is the shell whose value is 2 and 4 and 'p' and 'f' are subshells.
If we combine the abovementioned quantum numbers then we see that for shell n= 3 there will be three subshells 3s, 3p, and 3d orbitals.
