f orbital corresponds to n=4. l = n-1 = 3. The magnetic quantum numbers run from -l to l, or -3, -2,... 3. Thus there are seven possible magnetic quantum numbers, or seven orbitals. Since each orbital has 2 electrons max, an f orbital can hold 14 electrons.
Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
8 electrons
I assume you are referring to valence electrons (the "outermost" shell varies widely in the number of electrons it can hold, the valence electrons are a subset of this which are responsible for chemical bonding and reactivity).The number of valence electrons can only be from 1 electron to 8 electrons, these are divided between the s and p orbitals of a shell (each orbital can hold no more than 2 electrons).
The least number of electrons needed in a shell is 2, as the first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
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.
14 electrons
Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons.
8 electrons
A number of electrons.
The d sublevel consists of five orbitals that can hold a maximum of two electrons each. The total maximum number of electrons that the d sublevel can hold is 10 electrons.

The least number of electrons needed in a shell is 2, as the first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
An atomic orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, provided they have opposite spins. The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a given energy level (or shell) is determined by the formula (2n^2), where (n) is the principal quantum number. For example, the first shell (n=1) can hold 2 electrons, the second shell (n=2) can hold 8 electrons, and so on.
