there are actually 7 orbitals..
the different orbitals are s,p,d,f
s has 1, p has 3, d has 5, and f has 7.
i hope this helps you..i got this info straight from my chem teacher..
There are 7 orbitals in the f sublevel. These orbitals are designated as 4f, 5f, 6f, 7f, 8f, 9f, and 10f.
All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.
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.
Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.
There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)

5 orbitals
7 Orbitals
There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)
Multiply the orbitals in that sublevel by 2. The s sublevel has one orbital and can contain 2 electrons. The p sublevel has three orbitals and can contain 6 electrons. The d sublevel has five orbitals and can contain 10 electrons. The f sublevel has seven orbitals and can contain 14 electrons.
There are 9 orbitals in a g sublevel. (there is 1 in an s sublevel, 3 in a p sublevel, 5 in a d sublevel, 7 in an f sublevel, 9 in a g sublevel, 11 in an h sublevel, etc.)
There are 14 orbitals in the f block. This is because each f sublevel can hold a maximum of 7 orbitals, with each orbital being able to hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
I try to answer your question sub shell no. of orbitals s 1 p 3 d 5 f 7 Hope you will be satisfied
