Answer:

Neon

Explanation:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹ or [Ne]  3s¹

The outer most shell is the 3s¹.

For this atom to achieve stability, if it loses the electron in the 3s shell, it would resemble an inert element with a complete octet configuration. Therefore, the atom would be like:

                   1s² 2s² 2p⁶ which is the configuration of Ne
