Helium has 2 electrons.
hydrogen has one electron. Hydride ion is formed when hydrogen gains one electron, and thus hydride ion will also have 2 electrons.
The hydride ion (H-) is more stable than the hydrogen atom (H•) because the extra electron in the hydride ion helps to stabilize the negative charge through electron-electron repulsion. Additionally, the hydride ion benefits from a full electron octet, making it more stable compared to the hydrogen atom, which has an unpaired electron.
When a helium atom loses an electron, it forms a helium ion which is positively charged because it has one less electron than protons. This helium ion is written as He+.
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2; two electrons on the first (and the single) electron shell.
Helium has only two electrons. It is the first noble gas in the periodic table and has a full outer electron shell.
It would by definition be Helium (atom number = number of protons = 2) but the nucleus of the stable isotope 4He also contains 2 neutrons (the mass number = total number of p's and n's = 4)
None, for it to be an atom it has the have the same number of electrons and protons. Something with 1 electron and 2 protons would theoretically be a helium ion but helium does not form ions.

Helium has two electrons, and each electron occupies an orbital. Therefore, in a helium atom, there are two orbitals, one for each electron.
A possible quantum number set for an electron in a ground-state helium atom could be n1, l0, m0, s1/2.

Helium(He)
yes, both helium and magnesium have 2 valence electrons. the difference is that in helium, the 2 electrons make up an entire electron level. In Magnesium, they only make up the s orbital, or 1st electron sub-level.
Helium atom is neutral and has no charge. It becomes a positive ion with a charge of +1 when it loses an electron.
Because hydrogen is the only atom where bonds are made in the 1s shell, hydrogen can make bonds as a hydride ion or a proton. It can also participate in covalent bonds, and form a weak electrostatic bond that is important in biochemical reactions, called a hydrogen bond. The hydride ion can also join with electropositive atoms in an electron-deficient bond called the three center bond.1s^2
