Your first sentence is correct.
"ce" is an adjective . I think the grammatical term is a "demonstrative adjective".
As such (like all adjectives) we normally need to have a noun that it refers to.
In your second sentence we expect a noun to follow "ce" but there is nothing and so the sentence does not "make sense".
Yes , I should not have said "ce" is (only) an adjective. It can also be used as a pronoun ,perhaps always as the object to the verb (in which case I think it needs to be followed by "que". )
I cannot think of any examples where it can be used as the subject of a verb.
