The maximum number of orbitals possible in 4f is?

If you could explain it that would help a lot. Thanks!!! :^)

seven Explanation:f stands for azimuthal quantum number l=2The different orbital shapes are specified by the magnetic quantum numbers which arem = -l, -l+2,…,0,…,l-1, lso all in all there are 2*l +1 different orbitals.For l = 3 there are 2*3+1=7 different orbital shapes. So for a 4f orbital (and all other f orbitals), there are seven different orbitals possible.... Show More
