I am neutral!

$\text{Neon has an atomic number of 10, meaning it has 10 protons and 10 electrons in its neutral isotope.} \\ \text{Its first shell will hold 2 electrons, while the outer shell will hold the other 8 electrons.} \\ \text{Fun Fact : This is a perfect octet.} \\ \text{The outer shell is also called the valence shell, so our number of valence electrons in Neon is} \ \boxed{8}$
