Helium has 2 valence electrons.
Helium only needs two electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.
Helium atoms only need 2 valence electrons to have a filled outermost energy level because helium is in the first period of the periodic table and its outermost energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
It is the most stable element in the universe and does not need anymore electrons. Its outermost energy level is full.
2 electrons in the only shell helium has.
only 2 electrons.
0 It already is full
Helium has two electrons total, and the second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. However, in the case of helium, the second energy level will only contain two electrons as it is the outermost energy level.
Helium has only two electrons with one ring (or energy level). Both the electrons are in the one and only energy level / shell / ring.
Helium has 2 valence electrons. All other noble gases have 8 valence electrons.
There are 8 electrons in the outer level of all the noble gases except helium. This full outer level gives them stability and makes them less reactive. Helium, as a noble gas, has only 2 electrons in its outer level.
Carbon has 4 outermost electrons.
helium has 2 valence electrons (in s orbital) and has complete s orbital. So it does not need to gain or lose more electrons to be stable.
