Eight. The electrons with the highest energy levels are counted as the valence, or outer, orbitals. There are shells that contain more electrons such as D or F shells that can accommodate for 10 and 14 electrons respectively, however they are a lower energy level than their respective S and P shells that fill up before them which hold 2 and 6 electrons equaling a max of 8 outer orbitals.
