Answer»

(a)

Atomic NUMBER (Number of protons) :

P = 6 (12-6)

Q = 10 (20-10)

R = 11(23-12)

S = 17(35-18)

P = 2,4

Q = 2,8

R = 2,8,1

S = 2,8,7

(B) Note from above part that the compound Q has a configuration of 2,8 which has all shells FILLED and thus the compound Q is inert.

Hope it helps.
