No, helium has 2 electrons in its outer shell, while magnesium has 2 electrons in its outer shell. So, they do not have the same amount of electrons in their outer shell.
Magnesium has a total of 12 electrons. The electron configuration would be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2. Therefore, 2 electrons in it's outer shell.
There are 2 outer shell electrons in Magnesium. Remember, it's in the "s" orbital, which can only accomodate 2 electrons.
Magnesium has 2 electrons in its outer most shell and these 2 are the valency electrons.
it needs six more electrons to have a full outer valence shell.
No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.

Yes, helium only has two electrons which makes up its valence electrons (also known as an outer shell) and magnesium also has two valence electrons.
Magnesium needs to lose 2 electrons to achieve a full outer shell configuration, as it has 2 electrons in its outer shell. By losing these 2 electrons, magnesium becomes a positively charged ion with a full outer shell.
Magnesium has 2 electrons in its outer most shell and these 2 are the valency electrons.
2 electrons orbit in the outer shell. If its a neutral atom, then it will have the same number of electrons as protons. Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 electrons.
it needs six more electrons to have a full outer valence shell.
