A neutral neon atom has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Neon has a total of 10 electrons, with 2 in the inner shell and 8 in the outer shell.
Neon is a noble gas, which means all it's electrons shells are full. innermost shell has space for 2 electrons, followed by 8 in the next shell, 8 in the next shell and so on. Answer therefore is 2.

Eight - it has a full outer shell of electrons.
Eight. Neon is one of the Inert (also know as the Noble) Gases. The Inert Gases are largely unreactive, due to their filled outer shell.

There are many elements which have no unpaired electrons in their outer shells. The Noble gasses all have closed shells of valence electrons. The alkali earth metals (Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium etc) also have no unpaired electrons, although their outer shell is not entirely full.
Yes, helium, xenon, and neon all have stable electron configurations. Helium has a full outer electron shell with 2 electrons, xenon has a full outer shell with 8 electrons, and neon has a full outer shell with 8 electrons as well.
Four pairs of electrons. Neon has a full octet.
2 electrons in the K shell and 8 electrons in the L shell
The outer shell of a neon atom contains a full set of electrons, specifically 8 electrons. This makes neon a stable and inert element, as it does not readily form chemical bonds with other atoms.
