C = 1s2,2s2,2p2 so the outermost (2p) orbital has 2 electrons in Ground State
The quantum number set of the ground-state electron in helium, but not in hydrogen, is (1s^2) or (n=1, l=0, ml=0, ms=0). It indicates that the electron occupies the 1s orbital, which has a principal quantum number (n) of 1, an orbital angular momentum quantum number (l) of 0, a magnetic quantum number (ml) of 0, and a spin quantum number (ms) of 0.
You shouldn't use terms like "outer level", because they're confusing. It could potentially mean at least two things, specified more precisely below. The highest occupied energy level of a ground state neutral carbon atom, the 2p level, has two electrons. The number of electrons in a ground state neutral carbon atom that have a principal quantum number of 2 (the highest associated with any electrons in such an atom) is four.

The electronic configuration of Bromine in its ground state is: 1s2 2s2p6 3s2p6d10 4s2p5. Therefore the principal quantum number for the outermost electrons in a Bromine atom is 4.
It is n=4 because Br is in the 4p valence shell.
C = 1s2,2s2,2p2 so the outermost (2p) orbital has 2 electrons in Ground State

They do not differ in any way, except they are the 1 to 8 electrons in the highest energy ground state orbitals of that atom.
There are 0 unpaired electrons which would make it diamagnetic
Calcium atoms have 8 electrons in the second energy level. However, they are not the valence electrons. The outermost electrons in a calcium atom in the ground state are 2 4s electrons. So calcium atoms in the ground state have 2 valence electrons in the fourth energy level.

Chlorine is in the 17th period.Elements in the 17th period have 7 electrons in the outermost energy level. So chlorine has 7 electrons in the 3rd energy level.Chlorine has 17 electrons. It's electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p5. Therefore it has 7 electrons in its third (outermost) energy level.
