helium
Helium is the only noble gas that doesn't have 8 valence electrons. It only has 2.
Helium has only 2 valence electrons. The rest noble gases have eight.
Helium is the noble gas with only 2 valence electrons
Helium is the only noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell. It has only two electrons in its outer shell.
He does not have 8 valence electrons. It has only 2 valency electrons.

Helium
Oxygen should gain 2 electrons to achieve noble gas configuration
It should loose 2 electrons to become a noble gas.
It will vary depending on the noble gas. helium has 2, neon has 10, argon has 18, krypton has 36, xenon has 54, radon has 86.
Helium has 2 electrons in its last (and only) shell. All other noble gases have 8 electrons in its valence shell.
Strontium has 38 electrons. It needs to give up 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas electron configuration, similar to the nearest noble gas, which in this case is krypton (36 electrons).
