The maximum number of orbits in an atom is seven. These orbits are known as energy levels or electron shells, and electrons can occupy up to seven of them based on their energy level and distance from the nucleus.
A carbon atom can form a maximum of four bonds.
This number is 4.
8
The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Since the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, there can be a maximum of 2 protons in the first shell.
