Identify the element in question, which is helium (He).
Recall that valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom.
Determine the electron configuration of helium. Since helium has an atomic number of 2, it has 2 electrons.
Recognize that helium's electrons fill the first energy level (1s orbital), which is also its outermost shell.
Conclude that helium has 2 valence electrons because both electrons are in its outermost shell.
