Answer:

Neon's outer energy level contains eight electrons.

Explanation:

Energy level defined as the different areas for an electron present in an atom.

The Neon atom contains two electrons in energy level I and the remaining eight electrons present in energy level II (which can hold only 8 electrons). This means that the outer energy level is full so that a neon atom is very stable.
