Final answer:

The last electron for helium can be found in the 1s sublevel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The last electron for helium can be found in the 1s sublevel.

Helium atoms have 2 electrons. Both electrons fit into the 1s subshell because s subshells contain one s orbital which can hold up to 2 electrons; therefore, the electron configuration for helium atoms is 1s².
