The only neutral atom with two electrons is helium; however, lithium will lose one electron when becoming an ion to have two electrons. Hydrogen can also gain an electron (compounds called hydrides) to have two electrons also.

An element that has two outer electrons seeks to gain six more?

An element that has two outer electrons is carbon. Carbon would not use the energy to gain six more electrons when it can easily get rid of the two outer electrons.


Are Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but a different number of electrons?

NO. Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same numbers of protons and electrons, but differing numbers of neutrons. For example Helium-3 has two protons, two electrons, and one neutron and Helium-4 has two protons, two electrons, and two neutrons.A form of an element that has a different number of electrons than the number of protons is an "ion".
