Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

Helium has an atomic number Z = 2, that is, it has 2 protons. Since it is electrically neutral it also has 2 electrons. Thus, the electron configuration of helium is 1s².

Hydrogen has an atomic number Z = 1, that is, it has 1 proton. Since it is electrically neutral it also has 1 electron. Thus, the electron configuration of hydrogen is 1s¹.

If hydrogen gains a single extra electron to form H¹⁻, it acquires the same electron configuration than helium.
