Neon is an element with all its electron shells filled it is a noble gas.
The element chlorine does not have noble gas configuration. But chloride ion formed (when chlorine accepts an electron) has noble gas configuration of argon.

All Noble gases have full outer electron shells making them inert.
Electrons per shell in the radon atom: 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 8 .
The number of electron shells depends on the noble gas. The number of shells will be equal to the period in which the noble gas is present.

The noble gases are usually inert, because their electron shells are full. The further away an electron is the higher its energy and the less of a hold the protons have one it. If a highly electro-negative element comes in contact with a noble gas in high heat, the noble gas can lose an electron. Thus the noble gas becomes a cation. The cation noble gas is free to from a ionic bond with a anion.
Neon is an element, and a noble gas to boot (noble gases have completely filled electron shells); it hasn't changed a bit since it was forged in the hearts of stars.
The element chlorine does not have noble gas configuration. But chloride ion formed (when chlorine accepts an electron) has noble gas configuration of argon.

A noble gas atom has a completely full outer shell of electrons. Noble gases almost always exist as single atom molecules, rarely bonding with other atoms. Other element's electron configurations are often expressed by the closest lower numbered Noble gas, then just showing the additional electron shells on top of that configuration, rather than showing the entire electron shell configuration of the element.
Because it is a noble gas, it is no reactive, as all its electron shells are filled.
There are no unpaired electrons. All electron shells are filled; this is the reason they are called the noble gases.
