I think the answer is

N

Reasoning

These are chemical symbols representing the six most important chemical elements whose covalent combinations make up most biological molecules on Earth ("six elements of life"): carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen

The answer is indeed

N for Nitrogen

but let me take a stab at the title:

$3^2 + 2^3 + 2^2 = 21$; "guesses" more or less sounds as "gas is" so "21 gas is left". Air consists of 79% Nitrogen and 21% other gasses.
