The f subshell has a total of seven orbitals, which are designated by the letters:

  1. 4f subshell:
    • 4f₅/₂
    • 4f₇/₂
    • 4f₅/₂
    • 4f₇/₂
    • 4f₇/₂
    • 4f₇/₂
    • 4f₇/₂

These orbital designations represent the angular momentum quantum numbers (l) and the total electron spin quantum numbers (s) associated with each orbital. The f subshell has a complex shape and can hold a maximum of 14 electrons.
