The total number of orbitals in a subshell having a particular \ell value is given by (2\ell +1)

Thus, the total number of electrons in a subshell having a particular  \ell value is given by 2(2\ell +1)

Therefore for \ell =3, total number of electrons = 2(2\ell+1) = 2(2 \times 3 +1) = 2\times 7 = 14
