If He has an atomic number of 2 (which it does), it therefore has two
protons in it's nucleus.  in order to be an uncharged atom (which it is), it
must therefore have 2 electrons orbiting the nucleus.  How then can it have
a stable octet of electrons?

So what did it look like up your lab partners skirt?
