There are two elements which can have a filled outer electron shell with only two electrons, those being the first two elements on the Periodic Table: hydrogen and helium. Their outer shell is the frist shell, principal quantum number 1.

Also note that Hydrogen can also achieve a stable electron configuration with no electrons, in which case it consists of a single, naked proton.
