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.
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a valence shell, or electron valence ring, is eight, according to the octet rule. This rule states that atoms are most stable when they have eight electrons in their outermost shell. However, the first electron shell can hold a maximum of only two 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 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.

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 second shell can hold eight electrons.
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
The least number of electrons needed in a shell is 2, as the first shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
