Question

There are four types of electron orbitals, s, p, d, and f. In each energy level, there are one, three, and five orbitals of the s, p, and d types, respectively. Using the same pattern, how many f orbitals are there in each energy level?

Answer 1

from quantum theory

m value for f orbitals is -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

so 7 orbitals are possible.
