all the elements in the Periodic Table under the last coloumn, also known as the group 8 elements or noble gases. they each have 8 electrons on their outer shell making them "satisfied".
1
It has 6 electrons in it's valance shell and needs 2 more electrons in it's valance shell to become stable. Some atoms, phosphorous for instance ( valance # 5 ), can reach deeper into their valance shell and make additional covalent bonds.
1
A full octet, valance shell. A valance shell with eight electrons, such as the Nobel gases have, doe not need to donate or accept electrons into or out of the valance shell to be stable.
Valance electrons
If you are talking about the valance electrons any elements in group 5 on the periodic table will have 5 valance electrons.
There are two electrons in the valance shell of helium. Since this is the first shell, it is filled by two electrons.

Cations donate electrons from their valance shell, have less, to reach their octet state. Anions accept electrons into their valance shell, have more, to reach their octet state.
Valance electrons.
Eight - it has a full outer shell of electrons.
