It is the most stable element in the universe and does not need anymore electrons. Its outermost energy level is full.
Helium only needs 2 valence electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.
Yes it does.

Helium (He)
Helium has only 2 electrons and its energy level is full.
Helium has 2 valence electrons.
Noble gases (except for helium which has 2 valence electrons).
valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
Halogens have six valence electrons in the outermost energy level.
Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell (or outermost energy level or outermost orbital) in an atom. Noble gases have 8 valence electrons. But helium (a noble gas) has only 2 valence electrons.
helium has completely filled valence orbitals and hence is stable
