Answer
(a) Element A has electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1, its atomic number is 19. Thus, element A will be potassium (K), and potassium is a metal, whereas oxygen is a non-metal, so the bonding in its oxide will be ionic bond.
(b) A has valency of = 1
Oxygen (O) has valency = 2
So, two A atoms combine with one O atom to form A2O.
