If you mean the shell of some living thing, egg, or seed than no. Those shells are mixtures.

Which shell determines the chemical property of an element?

The outermost shell of an element, called the valence shell, determines the chemical properties of the element. The number of electrons in the valence shell influences how atoms bond with other atoms to form molecules.

What makes an element stable?

an element is stable when it has a full outer shell of electrons. to abide by the octet rule it must have a shell of 2 then 8 electrons. An element with a full outer shell (8) will be stable and act like its nearest noble gas.

If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?

The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
