There are more than two:- Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Chromium, Copper and quite a few more of the heavier elements.
5-10 and 13-18.
Hydrogen(H) and Helium(He)
Those are metals.
For example calcium and magnesium.
Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table have one electron in their outer shell, while elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their outer shell. This configuration makes these elements more stable and likely to form ions with a positive charge by losing these outer electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
Elements with complete outer shells have a full valence shell of electrons and are stable. This configuration is typically achieved by having eight electrons in the outer shell (known as the octet rule) or two electrons for the first shell. These elements are generally inert or have low reactivity due to their stable electron configuration.
Calcium has 2 outer shells. It has 2 electrons in its first shell and 8 electrons in its second shell.
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.
There are two elements which can have a filled outer electron shell with only two electrons, those being the first two elements on the periodic table: hydrogen and helium. Their outer shell is the frist shell, principal quantum number 1. Also note that Hydrogen can also achieve a stable electron configuration with no electrons, in which case it consists of a single, naked proton.

This configuration is typically achieved by having eight electrons in the outer shell (known as the octet rule) or two electrons for the first shell. These elements are generally inert or have low reactivity due to their stable electron configuration.
Calcium has two electrons in the outer shell.
Vanadium has on the outer shell two electrons.
For most elements, a complete outer shell, like that of a noble gas, has eight electrons. There are exceptions. Helium, which is the most noble of the noble gases, has only two electrons in its outer shell. A few other light elements only need two (and hydrogen can also exist with no electrons at all, in the form of a naked proton, which is also a form of completion for the outer shell).
No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.
Calcium has 2 outer shells. It has 2 electrons in its first shell and 8 electrons in its second shell.
Two 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.
Yes. Two of the electrons will go into the carbon's outer s shell (2s) to completely fill it (s orbitals can contain up to two electrons) and the remaining two will go into its outer p shell (2p).
Two electrons
There are two elements which can have a filled outer electron shell with only two electrons, those being the first two elements on the periodic table: hydrogen and helium. Their outer shell is the frist shell, principal quantum number 1. Also note that Hydrogen can also achieve a stable electron configuration with no electrons, in which case it consists of a single, naked proton.
Yes mercury has two outer electrons the two elements that the two outer electrons would be Iodine and Magnesium.
