Explanation:

Step1: Recall f - orbital properties

An f - subshell has 7 orbitals. According to Hund's rule, electrons first fill each orbital singly with parallel spins before pairing up.

Step2: Analyze f⁵ configuration

For f⁵, there are 5 electrons. These 5 electrons will fill 5 out of 7 f - orbitals singly with parallel spins.

Step3: Analyze f¹⁴ configuration

For f¹⁴, since there are 14 electrons and 7 orbitals in the f - subshell, each orbital will be filled with 2 electrons (one with spin - up and one with spin - down) to complete the subshell.
