Question

Elements with configuration 2, 8, 2 and 2, 7 are placed in Modern Periodic Table write the position in Modern Periodic table and identify their valencies and write the formula of compound formed by their combination

Open in App

Solution

Element with configuration 2,8,2 is magnesium which is alkaline earth metal and lies in the group 2 and has a valency of 2, as it is easy for mg to lose 2 electrons and attain stable configuration

Element with cinficonfigur 2,7 is fluorine which is a halogen and is in the 17 th group, and it has a valency of 1, it can accept one electron and attain stable configuration

Combination of mg and F would produce MgF2
