8 electrons
An orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons to fill it. This rule is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.
In nitrogen, the inner shell consists of two electrons, which fill the 1s orbital.
Two degenerate orbitals are needed to accommodate the five electrons with three unpaired. The first orbital can hold two electrons with opposite spins, while the second orbital can hold up to three electrons with one paired and two unpaired.
There are two electrons at most in an orbital, further, they have spins in opposed directions.
When you fill an orbital the electrons must spin in opposite directions. This results in no two electrons having the same quantum number, a result defined as the Pauli Exclusion Principle. You can have 2 electrons in an orbital. Note that 2py 2px and 2pz are three different orbitals.
An orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons to fill it. This rule is known as the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.
There are five orbitals in a d orbital: dxy, dyz, dxz, dx^2-y^2, and dz^2. Each orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, resulting in a total of 10 electrons that can be accommodated in a d orbital.

Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
4 to fill the 2p shell
It needs to lose one electron so that it can have 8 electrons in its outer orbital

I'm thinking that is would be alot
Each atom of lithium will have 3 electrons. Two electrons will fill the 1s orbital, and the third electron will occupy the 2s orbital, following the electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^1.
The S orbital contains a maximum of two electrons
There is a total of 8 electrons that are needed to fill outer shell of most atoms. An atom is the smallest unit of matter.
