Fermi energy (density of electron)

To find the Fermi energy I need to find the electron density of the material and that I can do by finding the density of atoms in the material in some instances this same density.
From what I gather it's not always that way Sometimes you have to multiply a certain number
For example, aluminum should double in 3 the density of atoms to know the density of electrons.
I want to know how I know when I need to double? How much I need to double?
Thank you

Isn't it because the valence of Aluminum is two? It's the number of conduction electrons per atom.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
