an element with 2 valence electrons can obtain a stable electron configuration by "kicking out" two electrons to have the same electron config as the noble gas in the previous period
Two electrons.
There are six electrons in two shells.In order to stable carbon, it take electrons from nearest noble gas to stable the carbon.It order to stable carbon it gain -4 electrons from the nearest noble gas Neon.
A stable sodium atom has 11 electrons.
An atom with two valence electrons in its outermost energy level can achieve a stable electron configuration by losing two electrons. This process is known as ionization. By doing so, the atom becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation, with a full outer energy level.
Mg is a metal and does not need the electrons it donates two electrons and becomes stable.
No - it would want to lose these two electrons

Two electrons.
No. Free electrons are not stable.
Most atoms require eight electrons in the outer shell to be stable. The exception is atoms that are only filling the s1 orbital, which becomes stable with only two electrons.

Helium has two valence electrons. It is the only noble gas not to have eight valence electrons. Helium has the electronic configuration 1s2.The Noble gases have eight valence electrons in their outer shell.
It'll have to lose two to have a stable octet.
Four: All of its valence electrons. If a silicon atom loses four electrons, it has the stable electron configuration of neon, while if the atom gains four electrons it has the stable electron configuration of argon. A silicon atom can also form a stable compound, as contrasted with a stable electron configuration for a single atom, by sharing four electrons with one or more other atoms.
A stable sodium atom has 11 electrons.
