Answer:

Neon

Step-by-step explanation:

All noble gases have 8 valence electrons except helium.

Noble gases include Helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, redon.

Electronic configuration of neon:

Ne₁₀ = [He] 2s² 2p⁶

All other options are incorrect because,

Electronic configuration of Fluorine:

F₉ = [He] 2s² 2p⁵

Fluorine have seven valence electrons.

Electronic configuration of oxygen:

O₈ = [He] 2s² 2p⁴

Oxygen have six valence electrons.

Electronic configuration of sodium:

Na₁₁ = [Ne] 3s¹

sodium have one valence electron.
