ten. because a d subshell corresponds to an l value of 2, m_l can be -2,-1,0,1,2. so that's 5 orbitals, and 2 electrons can fit into each one (one with a +1/2 spin and one with a -1/2 spin) so that's 10 electrons total.

4f is a valid orbital.
there are 16 orbitals in a n=4 shell *since there are 2 electrons in each orbital, that makes 32 electrons total here
three nodes
The elements in period 4 that have electrons in the 3d sublevel are elements 21 - 36. Refer to the Related Links for a printable periodic table that includes electron configurations.
They are further away from the nucleus and easier to remove (requires less energy), i.e. first ionization is less.
in 5s it is filled but in 4d or 4s its half

4f orbital
s-orbital = 2e- (s) orbital can hold 2 electrons, each with opposite spin. p-orbital = 6e- (p) orbital can hold 6 electrons in 3 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each d-orbital = 10e- (d) orbital can hold 10 electrons in 5 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each f-orbital = 14e- (f) orbital can hold 14 electrons in 7 suborbitals, so 2 electrons in each

The maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals is 14.-pg. 110 Modern Chemistry table 2:)

The highest sublevel that Promethium can have is 4f. It is possible for 14 electrons to be placed around Promethium, since the elements in this sublevel each have 7 orbitals.
The first orbit only has an S orbital. The S orbital can hold 2 electron. The second orbit has s and p orbitals. The p orbital can hold 8 electrons The third orbit has s, p, and d orbitals. The d orbital hold 10 electrons giving a total of 18. However the 3d orbital has a higher energy level than 4s so the 4s orbital is filled with electrons before you can put electrons in the 3d orbital. The fourth orbital has s,p,d,and f. The f orbital can hold 14 electrons. This gives a total of 32 electrons. However the 4f orbital is higher in energy than the 5s, 5p, and 62 orbitals. Therefore these orbitals must be filled first. The fifth, sixth and seventh orbitals are similar to the fourth.
