There are seven spatial orientations for an f sub-level in an atom - one spherically symmetrical orbital, three dumbbell-shaped orbital pairs, and one more complex orbital shape.
The s orbital is spherically symmetrical, meaning it does not have distinct orientations in space. This symmetry arises from the wave function describing the s orbital, which does not depend on specific angles of rotation.
There is one subshell in the f orbital, which can hold a maximum of 14 electrons. This subshell has seven orbitals: 5f with each of the orbitals capable of holding 2 electrons.
s = 2 electrons p = 6 electrons d = 10 electrons f = 14 electrons Each single s orbital has two electrons in it. Each p orbital has two electrons in it and as there are three of these orbitals in a p subshell, the total electron number is six. d has five orbitals in its subshell, containing ten electrons (two in each orbital) when full, which form a dumbell-esque shape. f has seven orbitals each containing two electrons.

On any level, a single s sublevel exists by itself, containing two electrons. However, the other three sublevels are actually composed of three or more sublevel orbitals. On any level, a p sublevel is actually made up of a group of three orbitals. Similarly, d sublevels are made up of a group of five orbitals, and f sublevels are composed of a group of seven orbitals.
The s orbital is spherically symmetrical, meaning it does not have distinct orientations in space. This symmetry arises from the wave function describing the s orbital, which does not depend on specific angles of rotation.
There is one subshell in the f orbital, which can hold a maximum of 14 electrons. This subshell has seven orbitals: 5f with each of the orbitals capable of holding 2 electrons.
In an f sublevel, there can be a maximum of 7 orbitals. Each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, resulting in a total capacity of 14 electrons within the f sublevel.
The different orbitals are s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals, and f orbitals.
s = 2 electrons p = 6 electrons d = 10 electrons f = 14 electrons Each single s orbital has two electrons in it. Each p orbital has two electrons in it and as there are three of these orbitals in a p subshell, the total electron number is six. d has five orbitals in its subshell, containing ten electrons (two in each orbital) when full, which form a dumbell-esque shape. f has seven orbitals each containing two electrons.
There are 7 orbitals in the f sublevel. These orbitals are designated as 4f, 5f, 6f, 7f, 8f, 9f, and 10f.
The f-block elements have 14 elements in a period because the f orbital in the f-block can hold a maximum of 14 electrons. This results in 14 elements being accommodated in one row or period of the f-block in the periodic table.
There are seven different possible magnetic quantum numbers or seven orbitals. In that cause the maximum number of electrons an f orbital will hold would be fourteen.
The "formula" is n2 - so for principal quantum number 4 there are 16 orbitals, correspnding to one X s orital, three X p orbitals, five X d orbitals, seven X f orbitals.
