There are more than two:- Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Chromium, Copper and quite a few more of the heavier elements.
Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table have one electron in their outer shell, while elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their outer shell. This configuration makes these elements more stable and likely to form ions with a positive charge by losing these outer electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
Elements with complete outer shells have a full valence shell of electrons and are stable. This configuration is typically achieved by having eight electrons in the outer shell (known as the octet rule) or two electrons for the first shell. These elements are generally inert or have low reactivity due to their stable electron configuration.
The outer shell of calcium has two electrons.
Helium is the only noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell. It has only two electrons in its 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.

Vanadium has on the outer shell two electrons.
Calcium has two electrons in the outer shell.
Group two elements, known as the alkaline earth metals, have two outer shell electrons. This configuration is characteristic of all elements in this group, including beryllium, magnesium, calcium, and others. These two valence electrons play a significant role in the chemical reactivity and bonding behavior of these elements.
For most elements, a complete outer shell, like that of a noble gas, has eight electrons. There are exceptions. Helium, which is the most noble of the noble gases, has only two electrons in its outer shell. A few other light elements only need two (and hydrogen can also exist with no electrons at all, in the form of a naked proton, which is also a form of completion for the outer shell).
No. Argon has eight electrons in its outer shell and magnesium has two electrons in its outer shell.
The outer shell of calcium has two electrons.
Two electrons
Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell. The electron configuration of carbon is 1s² 2s² 2p², where the two electrons in the inner shell (1s) are not counted toward the outer shell. Therefore, in the outer shell (2s and 2p), carbon has a total of four electrons.
Helium is the only noble gas that does not have eight electrons in its outer shell. It has only two electrons in its outer shell.
