Helium has 2 valence electrons. Group 2 elements (alkaline earth metals) also have 2 valence electrons.
Helium.
Helium atoms only need 2 valence electrons to have a filled outermost energy level because helium is in the first period of the periodic table and its outermost energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, whereas helium has 2 valence electrons.
helium has completely filled valence electrons. hence it are stable, chemically inert and do not form compounds.
Both of the two electrons in a helium atom are technically "valence electrons", but since they constitute a complete electronic shell, they do not form chemical bonds to other atoms easily if at all.
The valence of the element helium is 0.
10g of helium has fewer atoms. This is because the atomic mass of helium is much higher than that of hydrogen, so the same mass of helium contains fewer atoms than the same mass of hydrogen.
Argon(Ar) and Helium(He)
Helium has 2 electrons (total of 2 electrons and 2 valence electrons)
valence electrons
Because atoms with the same number of valence electrons react in similar ways with other elements.
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.
