Want this question answered?
The maximum number is 8.
The maximum number of valence electrons will vary from element to element ranging from 1 to 8.
8 so then it is an Octet.
I assume you are referring to valence electrons (the "outermost" shell varies widely in the number of electrons it can hold, the valence electrons are a subset of this which are responsible for chemical bonding and reactivity).The number of valence electrons can only be from 1 electron to 8 electrons, these are divided between the s and p orbitals of a shell (each orbital can hold no more than 2 electrons).
s contains one orbital with a maximum of 2 electrons p contains three orbitals with a maximum of 6 electrons d contains five orbitals with a maximum of 10 electrons f contains seven orbital with a maximum of 14 electrons
The maximum number is 8.
18
The maximum number of valence electrons will vary from element to element ranging from 1 to 8.
up to 120 elements 14 can be the maximum no. of valence electrons if any element with atomic no.greater than 120 is discovered its maximum no. of valence electrons would be 18
8 electrons.

8 so then it is an Octet.
It can make maximum 2 covalent bonds as element of atomic number 7 has 5 valence electrons while element having 16 atomic number have 6 valence electrons.
For one, the atom's outer circle is completely filled with the maximum number of electrons - it's valence orbitals are filled.

First orbital can be occupied by a total of 2 electrons and the second orbital can be occupied by a total of 8 electrons. 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 ( what element is this ? )
