Detailed Solution

The number of orbitals for  l=3 is (21+1)=(2×3+1)=7

Now, each orbit can accommodate 2 electrons.

So, number of electrons =2(21+1)=2(2×3+1)=2×7=14

Therefore, number of orbitals in the given shell =7

the maximum number of electrons that cannot be accommodated in these orbitals`=2×7=14` [`because` each orbital can accommodate a maximum of 2 electron].
