Orbital shape can be octuple-ellipsoidal eight-lobed clover {f orbital}, with three crossing points and three rotation axes. f orbitals have six elongated lobes, with two each along three orthogonal lines, with three crossings in middle. Successive and more complex clover-leaf-shaped orbits can have 7, 9, or 11 distinct orientations. For same shell and same orbital angular momentum, all orientations are equally probable and have equal energy. All orientations add to make spherical orbital with zero net angular momentum.
