    7 Orbitals

    Explanation:

    The number of subshell present are s, p, d, and f

    The number of orbitals in each are as follows –

    • The s subshell – 1 orbital consists of 2 electrons
    • The p subshell – 3 orbitals consists of 6 electrons
    • The d subshell – 5 orbitals consists of 10 electrons
    • The f subshell – 7 orbitals consists of 14 electrons

    The number of orbitals can be calculated by the degeneracy,  2
    l
    +
    1
    , where l denoted is angular momentum quantum number that determines the shape of an orbital. For s, p, d, and f the angular momentum quantum number is 0, 1, 2 3 respectively.

    So, maximum number of f orbitals that are possible can be calculated as –

    2 ×  l
    +
    1  =  2  × 3  + 1  =  7
