All atoms in the first group (column) of the Periodic Table have only one electron in the outer shell. Those heavier than hydrogen (H) are called the alkali metals.

The alkali metals are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).

All have an outer s electron shell. The question asks for a single element in an "outer energy level" and all seven of these atoms fit the question.

There are other atoms which may be characterized as having a single outer electron, but the chemistry and physics of those atoms make things a bit more complicated and a longer discussion would be necessary instead of a simple answer to a simple question.

How many electrons are there in potassium's outer energy level after the bond has formed?

Potassium has 1 electron in its outer energy level. When it forms a bond, it typically donates this electron to another element, leaving it with a full outer energy level.

An element that is considered to be unreactive because it has a filled outer energy level is?

A noble gas is considered unreactive because it has a filled outer energy level. The full outer energy level provides stability and low reactivity, as the element does not need to gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

What is the outer energy level for the atom having the electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6?

The outer energy level for an atom is determined by the highest principal quantum number, n. In this case, the highest n value in the electron configuration is 4. Therefore, the outer energy level is the fourth energy level.
