it has 2 because the first energy level has 1
Helium only needs two electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.
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.
0 It already is full
That is correct. Titanium has 22 electrons, and its highest full orbital is 4s and the 3d is partially filled with 2 electrons. So Titanium is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d2
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 only needs two electrons to have a filled outermost energy level.
Outer energy level electrons, or valence electron.
This element is likely chlorine (Cl), which has 7 valence electrons and 3 filled energy levels with a partially filled 4th energy level.
Group 1: have 1 valence electrons (half filled s orbital) Group 2: have 2 valence electrons (completely filled s orbital)
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.

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.
That is correct. Titanium has 22 electrons, and its highest full orbital is 4s and the 3d is partially filled with 2 electrons. So Titanium is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d2
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.
All noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon) have completely filled valence shell / valence energy level / valence orbitals.
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.
Neon is a noble gas, thus It has a full valence shell of eight electrons.
