The first shell of any element (besides H) has 2 electrons in it. In the case of He, this happens to be it's only shell.
Helium has one energy shell with only 2 electrons in it.
The electron configuration of helium is 1s2; two electrons on the first (and the single) electron shell.
No, Helium has 2 electrons in total, both of which occupy the first electron shell. The first electron shell can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, so Helium's electron configuration is 2.
Two electrons.
There are two electrons in the valance shell of helium. Since this is the first shell, it is filled by two electrons.
2 valence electrons for helium (helium has only 1 shell)
2 valence electrons for helium (helium has only 1 shell)
This is true for all elements except hydrogen, which has only one.
2 electrons in the only shell helium has.
The outer shell of helium does not have an atomic number, that number belongs to helium itself whose atomic number is 2.
Helium has only one shell with a total of 2 electrons.
Since Helium is a noble gas meaning it is stable, and the fact that it has one shell, it has 2 shells in its inner-most shell.
