I have been taught that s orbitals are spherical.  P orbitals are dumbell shaped, d orbitals are strange,  but i have no idea and have not seen the shapes of "f" orbitals,  where could i find this information as I have been asked by students many times and never looked it up.

Thanks

For a good site that goes through the concept of orbitals with clear explanations go to :

I hope this helps, it certainly cleared up a few things for me!
