Neon is a noble gas, which means all it's electrons shells are full. innermost shell has space for 2 electrons, followed by 8 in the next shell, 8 in the next shell and so on. Answer therefore is 2.
There are 8 electrons in the outer most shell of Neon.
8 electrons on the outer shell
Eight. Neon is one of the Inert (also know as the Noble) Gases. The Inert Gases are largely unreactive, due to their filled outer shell.
Neon's complete electron configuration is: 1s22s22p6 Therefore, normally, neon does not have any electrons in its third energy level. As you can see, neon is a noble gas with 8 electrons in its valance shell, and is therefore chemically stable and is unlikely to react.
Given what we know about electron structure, we would expect there to be 8 electrons in the outer shell of an atom with the atomic number of 10. And that's how many there are. Element 10 is neon, and like all noble or inert gases, it has a full outer shell.There are only two electron shells for all the elements up through element 10 (neon). The first shell will only accept 2 electrons. That's the s shell, and it's the outer shell (and the only shell) for helium (the lightest inert gas). The next 8 electrons will fill the second electron shell, which is the p shell. That means element 10 (the inert gas neon) will have a full s shell (2 electrons) and a full p shell (8 electrons).
There are two electrons in the first shell of neon. Its complete electronic configuration is 2,8

Neon. The closer electrons are to the nucleus, the greater the pull the nucleus has on the electrons.

2 electrons in the K shell and 8 electrons in the L shell
No, neon already has 8 electrons in its outer shell. Why would it need more?
