Yes, the outermost energy level of the atoms of the noble gases are filled, meaning that they have the maximum number of electrons. This is why noble gases are stable and unreactive. The atoms of reactive elements share or transfer electrons in order to fill their outermost energy levels, making them stable like the noble gases.
If all the electron orbitals are filled then the atom is inert. It will not chemically react with anything. If an atom has empty spaces in the outer orbit, it will react with other elements. Electrons from other elements can share positions in the outer orbits.
There are more than two such atoms. Perhaps there was a list of atoms you had to chose from. Anyway, two such atoms are beryllium and magnesium.
Helium atoms only need 2 valence electrons to have a filled outermost energy level because helium is in the first period of the periodic table and its outermost energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
If the outer energy level of an atom is already filled with electrons, it is less likely to react because atoms tend to be more stable when their outer energy levels are full. This full outer level signifies that the atom has achieved a more stable electron configuration (usually the octet rule for most elements).
Helium (He) and Neon (Ne) will both have their outer energy level filled with 2 electrons.

To become stable. When the outermost energy field is filled to maximum electrons, the atom is stable.
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
Atoms of the elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer energy shells. This gives the elements similar Chemical Propetries.
Helium and neon will have their outer energy level filled with two electrons. Helium has 2 electrons in its only energy level, while neon has 8 electrons in its second energy level.

undiscovered...yet, but there are a few...go forward 50 years and see
There are two elements which can have a filled outer electron shell with only two electrons, those being the first two elements on the periodic table: hydrogen and helium. Their outer shell is the frist shell, principal quantum number 1. Also note that Hydrogen can also achieve a stable electron configuration with no electrons, in which case it consists of a single, naked proton.
