A particular atom becomes more energetically stable when it loses a single electron. It is most likely an atom of which of the following elements?

Magnesium (Mg)
Cesium (Cs)
Flourine (F)
Boron (B)

I know MG is in Column 2, Cs is in Column 1, F is in column 17, and Boron is in column 13. I don't think it's F or B, but I'm not sure.
