Study the electron dot diagrams for lithium, carbon, fluorine, and neon. Choose the statement that correctly identifies the most stable of the elements.

• Lithium is the most stable element because it has to lose only one electron to achieve a stable configuration.
• Carbon is the most stable element because it can form four bonds
• Fluorine is the most stable element because it has to gain only one electron to achieve a stable configuration
• Neon is the most stable element because its highest occupied energy level is filled.
