KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

(i) As Z has atomic number of 7, hence it has 7 protons. Electronic configuration of 2, 7 means the atom has 2 + 7 = 9 electrons. Therefore, element W has electronic configuration 2, 7 since its atomic number is 9. (ii) Number of electron in X is 3. Therefore, electronic configuration = (2, 1). As X will try to lose 1 electron to attain stable state, hence, X has valency [1+] Number of electron in Y is 8. Therefore, electronic configuration = (2, 6). As Y will try to gain 2 electrons to attain stable state, hence, Y has valency [2-] Since valency of X is 1+ and valency of Y is 2- Formula of the compound: So, we get the formula as
