7 I think
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.
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.
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.
The F sublevel has a total of seven orbitals, each capable of holding a maximum of two electrons. Therefore, the maximum number of electrons that can exist in the F sublevel is 14 (7 orbitals × 2 electrons per orbital).
The seven orientations of the seven orbitals in a multi-electron atom correspond to the following types of orbitals: one s orbital (spherically symmetric), three p orbitals (aligned along x, y, and z axes), and five d orbitals (with more complex shapes). Specifically, the s orbital has one orientation, the p orbitals have three orientations (px, py, pz), and the d orbitals have five orientations (dxy, dyz, dzx, dx²-y², dz²), making a total of seven distinct orbital orientations. These orbitals help define the spatial distribution of electrons around the nucleus.

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.
There are four types of orbitals: s, p, d, and f. These orbitals have different shapes and orientations in space. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbital is dumbbell-shaped, the d orbital is cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbital is complex. Orbitals help determine the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom, which in turn influences the atom's chemical properties and reactivity.
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.
There are 7 orbitals in the f sublevel. These orbitals are designated as 4f, 5f, 6f, 7f, 8f, 9f, and 10f.
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.
The eg orbitals are elongated and lie along the axes of a coordination complex, while the t2g orbitals are more spherical and lie between the axes.
