Helium only needs two electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.
Carbon needs to have 8 electron in its outermost shell to have it completely filled, 4 more valence electrons than it has in the neutral for of carbon.
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.
The valence electrons are the outermost electrons. In an atom, its lower energy levels have been filled and are therefore stable. But, except for the noble gases, the valence energy level is not filled, and therefore not stable. So atoms must undergo chemical reactions in order to fill their valence shells and become stable. They can do this by sharing electrons, transferring electrons, or by forming a sea of electrons shared by all the atoms.
To determine the valence electrons in d-block elements, you consider the outermost energy level, which includes the s and d orbitals. Valence electrons are typically the sum of the electrons in the outermost s orbital and the d orbitals that are being filled. For example, in transition metals, the valence electrons are often given by the configuration of the outermost s electrons (usually 2) plus the number of d electrons present. Thus, for a d-block element, the total number of valence electrons can range from 1 to 10, depending on its position in the periodic table.

Outer energy level electrons, or valence electron.
Carbon needs to have 8 electron in its outermost shell to have it completely filled, 4 more valence electrons than it has in the neutral for of carbon.
Carbon has four electrons in the outermost energy level, which is energy level two. It needs eight electrons to have this energy level filled.
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.

helium has 2 valence electrons (in s orbital) and has complete s orbital. So it does not need to gain or lose more electrons to be stable.
helium has completely filled valence orbitals and hence is stable
No, strontium does not have unpaired electrons. It has an electron configuration of [Kr]5s2, meaning the outermost energy level (valence shell) is completely filled with 2 electrons.
helium has 2 valence electrons (in s orbital) and has complete s orbital. So it does not need to gain or lose more electrons to be stable.
Neon is a noble gas, thus It has a full valence shell of eight electrons.
