There are either two He and Ne. These are truly complete as there are no more empty orbitals in their outer shells.
If you allow argon it has 3d orbitals empty and then so do the rest of the noble gases, so there would be more than 3.
Elements in the third row of the Periodic Table, such as sodium and magnesium, have three electron shells. These elements have the electron configuration that includes the first, second, and third energy levels or shells.
If it has three outer electrons, it's in group 3. It has 2 shells, so it's in period 2. In periodic table this corresponds to B, boron.

All elements in period three have three electron shells. They also have increasingly higher atomic numbers and exhibit a range of properties from nonmetals to metals as you move across the period.
Elements with incomplete penultimate shells include transition metals (elements in groups 3-12) and inner transition metals (lanthanides and actinides). These elements have partially filled d or f orbitals in their penultimate energy level. Examples include elements like chromium, copper, and uranium.
Magnesium has the same number of atomic shells as sodium. Both elements have 3 atomic shells.
There are 18 elements in period 4 of the periodic table, corresponding to 4 shells.
The elements potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), and cesium (Cs) each contain the same number of atomic shells as sodium.
The elements in a group do not have the same number of shells, however, the elements in a horizontal row do have the same number of shells.
The Bohr model of the atom places electrons in orbits or "shells." Elements in the first period only have electrons in the first shell. Elements in the second period have electrons in the first two shells. Elements in the third period have electrons in the first three shells, and so on.
A Sodium atom has three shells. For future reference, this can be discovered later by looking at which period an element falls in. For example, all group 1 elements have 1 shell, all group 2 elements have two shells, and so on.

Elements in the same row, or period, of the periodic table fill up the same energy level as you move from left to right. This is because elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
protons
Elements with full outer shells, the noble gas elements, are located in the column at the extreme right of the periodic table.
The shell model explains the organization of the periodic table. The elements in the first period have electrons in the first shell; the elements in the second period have electrons in the first two shells; the elements in the third period have electrons in the first three shells; and so on.
Yes they have eight electrons in their valence shells. This is why they are not reactive. All elements have valence shells.
Elements with incomplete penultimate shells include transition metals (elements in groups 3-12) and inner transition metals (lanthanides and actinides). These elements have partially filled d or f orbitals in their penultimate energy level. Examples include elements like chromium, copper, and uranium.
