Abstract: We prove that the maximum number $N_c$ of non-relativistic electrons that a nucleus of charge $Z$ can bind is less than $1.22Z+3Z^{1/3}$. This improves Lieb's upper bound $N_c<2Z+1$ [{it Phys. Rev. A} {�f 29}, 3018-3028 (1984)] when $Zge6$. Our method also applies to non-relativistic atoms in magnetic field and to pseudo-relativistic atoms. We show that in these cases, under appropriate conditions, $limsu{p}_{Zoinfty}{N}_c/Zle1.22$.
