There are four orbitals of the f subshell. The name of the four f subshells include 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f. The historical name of the f subshells is called "fundamental subshells".

The lowest energy shell that contains f orbitals is the shell with n equals?

The lowest energy shell that contains f orbitals is the fourth shell (n=4). Within this shell, the f orbitals are found in the subshell with l=3.


What subshell has four orbitals of four lobes each plus a fifth one?

The f subshell has seven orbitals, with one of them having four lobes and two of them having three lobes. The other four orbitals have varying numbers of lobes.


What are the different atomic orbitals?

You can break down the shell and orbitals of an atom on several levels of detail.First, there are the main shells of the atom, and these are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. (or like some doing it alphabetically K, L, M, N, ...).In the periodic table you will encounter them as seven periods.Each shell holds orbitals (sometimes called sub-shells, but they are not), and different shells have different numbers of orbitals associated with it. The higher the number of the main shell, the more orbitals it contains. In fact, the number of the main shell is equal to the number of orbitals it contains. The types of orbitals are labeled like this: s, p, d, f, and not so very important: g, h, i, etc (alphabetically after i).So far we have:Main shell #1-- contains one orbital (s-orbital)Main shell #2-- contains two orbitals (s-orbital, and p-orbital)Main shell #3-- contains three orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, and d-orbital)Main shell #4-- contains four orbitals (s-orbital, p-orbital, d-orbital, and f-orbital)etc...Now we can further break down orbitals! The p-orbital is actually composed of three sub-orbitals and the d-orbital is composed of 5 sub-orbitals and f-orbital in 7 sub-orbitals.So we have:s-orbital: just a single orbital, called just the s-orbitalp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, called the px-, py-, and pz-orbitalsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, called the dxy-, dxz-, dyz-, dx2-y2, and dz2-orbtialsf-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, called fz3, fxz2, fyz2, fxyz, fz(x2-y2), fx(x2-3y2), fy(3x2-y2).etc...And at last, but not least: each sub-orbital has a maximum of TWO electrons in it, only differing in electron spin number.So the maxima per orbital are:s-orbital: just a single orbital, max. 2 electronsp-orbitals: composed of 3 sub-orbitals, max. 6 electronsd-orbitals: composed of 5 sub-orbitals, max. 10 electrons (= number of transitional elements)f-orbitals: composed of 7 sub-orbitals, max. 14 electrons (= number of lanthanides, actinides)(Thanks to JEK, who's original answer I completed with the last paragraph and some minor add's in the first ones)

How many number of orbitals are present in each sub level?

In chemistry, sub orbitals are the paths that electrons follow in the shells. They go in this order: s (x1) p(x6) d (x10) and f (x14) (It is very important that they are in lower case) There is only 1 's' orbital in each shell. Shell 1: 's': 2 electrons Shell 2: 's' and 'p': 8 electrons. etc Remember that electrons fill up the smaller sub orbitals first, so if electrons have to choose between 'f' and 's' they will always choose 's' . Hope that helps!

How many types of orbitals are in the sixth shell?

There are four types of orbitals in the sixth shell: s, p, d, and f orbitals. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped, the d orbitals are cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbitals have more complex shapes. Each type of orbital can hold a specific number of electrons.

Maximum number of electrons in 7 f orbitals?

What exactly did you intend to ask? Actually there can be only 2 electrons on one orbital of any level and any type. It's according to Pauli concept (no any two electrons can have the same all four quantum numbers, and these numbers are determining the level, sublevel, orbital position and the spin of electron(which can be whether 1/2 or -1/2, so that only two electrons can occupie the same orbital, no matter, which)).


What is a quantum shell?

The quantum shell or the principle shell (represented by an integer known as the principle quantum number, n) are orbits found in an atom. It is arranged as n=1, n=2, and so forth, n=1 being closest to the nucleus. As the numbers increase, so do the energy. Each quantum shell is an orbit, and in the orbits exist sub-orbitals. Please see sub-orbitals for more details.


What shell contains a total of 9 orbitals?

The shell that contains a total of 9 orbitals is the third shell. This shell consists of one 3s orbital, three 3p orbitals, and five 3d orbitals, which adds up to 9 orbitals in total.
