the largest number of electrons an atom of helium can have is 2, because it is in the first period, which means it can only have one energy level, which has a maximum capacity of two electrons


What is the aggregate of electrons around the nucleus of an atom?

The number of electrons in a neutral atom will equal the number of protons; the electrons are arranged in concentric shells (at least for atoms heavier than helium; hydrogen and helium both have only one shell, not concentric shells).
