Answer:

its outermost shell is completely full making it extremely stable.

Explanation:

It only has two electrons in its outer shell so its valence electron configuration is 1s2. Even though it only has two electrons, it is grouped with elements that have eight valence electrons. Helium is still happy because its outermost shell is completely full making it extremely stable.

If an atom has an atomic number of 6 and and abdomens mass of 12 how many electrons does it have
Basile [38]
Atomic number refers to the proton number of the atom itself. Number of electrons in an atom (an atom that is not reacted with any other molecules / Just the atom alone), is the same as the number of protons, because each electron has 1 negative charge, and each proton 1 positive charge, where they cancel out on each other to become a neutral charge.

So, when atomic number is 6, proton number is also 6, and number of electrons will also be 6 in that atom.

Hope this helps! :)
