How many electrons and orbitals should I include in a CASSCF calculation?

I'm interested in running CASSCF calculations to get a dissociation curve for a number of systems of the form: atom-atom, atom-diatomic or diatomic-diatomic (e.g. Li+ ... O-, K+ ... O2, or N(3-) ... … Is there a way to get the right number of electrons and number of orbitals to use in CASSCF from just knowing what atoms or diatomic species are involved? P.S. I'm using Orca. …
