The f subshell can hold a maximum of 14 electrons and consists of seven orbitals. The names of the f orbitals are as follows:

  1. 4f sublevel:
    • 4f₁ orbital
    • 4f₂ orbital
    • 4f₃ orbital
    • 4f₄ orbital
    • 4f₅ orbital
    • 4f₆ orbital
    • 4f₇ orbital

Each of these orbitals can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, following the Pauli exclusion principle.
