Solution
Electronic configuration of elements A (atomic number =17) is 2,8,7 and that of element B (atomic number =19) is 2,8,8,1. So, element B will lose one electron and element A will accept that electron to form a chemical compound.
The chemical formula of the compound formed by two of the above elements is “BA”.
