Best Answer

Both terms are acceptable due to the fact that eight electrons exist in the outermost shell of all elements in the group. Therefore, one could say that this group has 8 electrons in the outermost shell or that there are no electrons in the outermost shell - as the structure is stable! It is the perspective of a person.
