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.

How many electrons will there be in each atom of lithium?
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.
Why is not there 3d2 instead of 4s2?
In the electron configuration of an atom, the 4s orbital is generally filled before the 3d orbital due to the lower energy level of the 4s orbital. This follows the Aufbau principle, where electrons fill orbitals in order of increasing energy. Thus, in the electron configuration of an atom, the 4s orbital is filled before the 3d orbital, leading to the configuration 4s2 instead of 3d2.
How many electrons maximum can be in one orbital?
There can only be 2 electrons in each single orbital, and they will be on opposite sides of the electron cloud (orbital).

How many electrons does Sodium need to fill it's outer energy level?
It needs to lose one electron so that it can have 8 electrons in its outer orbital
If three electrons are available to fill three empty 2p atomic orbitals how will the electrons be distributed in the three orbitals?
The three electrons will fill each of the three 2p atomic orbitals with one electron each. Hund's rule states that electrons prefer to occupy empty orbitals before pairing up, so in this case each orbital will have one electron before any orbital receives a second electron.
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
What is the last orbital fill in bromine atom?
