only one electron
Helium is odd as it has 2 valence electrons while others have 8 valence electrons.
A species (element, cation or anion) should have eight valence electrons to have a noble gas electronic configuration. However element upto atomic number 4 may have 2 valence electrons and attain the electronic configuration of helium noble gas.
The noble gas with the smallest atomic number is helium, with an atomic number of 2.
That would be Astatine with the atomic number 85.
Argon, one of the noble gases.Argon - which is a noble gas, has atomic number 18.Argon - which is a noble gas, has atomic number 18.
Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to match the number of outer shell electrons of a noble gas.
An atom with atomic number n needs to gain enough electrons to have the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas in the periodic table. This would typically involve gaining 8 electrons to achieve the stable electronic configuration of a noble gas.
It is helium. It's atomic number is 2, so it has 2 protons and therefore 2 electrons.
Helium is odd as it has 2 valence electrons while others have 8 valence electrons.
Argon is an element. Symbol: Ar Atomic Number: 18 Family: Noble Gases Val Electrons: 8
Sodium ion (Na+) and neon will have the same number of electrons
Sodium and magnesium form positive ions because they lose electrons in order to have a filled valence shell, like a noble gas. A sodium atom loses one electron so that its ion has a 1+ charge and the noble gas configuration of neon. A magnesium atom loses two electrons so that its ion has a charge of 2+ and the noble gas configuration of neon.

The atomic number of the noble gas after radon is 118, which corresponds to oganesson.
