(a)
Interpretation:
For the given pair of noble gas configurations, the formula of two simple ionic compounds that would have comparable electron configuration is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The distribution of the electrons that exists in the atomic orbital of an atom is collectively known as electron configuration. The description of every electron in an orbital is given by the electron configuration of that atom.
Atoms lose or gain electrons to become stable by attaining nearest noble gas configuration. While doing so, they are converted to their respective ions. The positive ion and the negative ion combine to form their corresponding salt.
The given noble gas configurations are
Ionic compound 1:
An ionic compound consists of both cations and anions.
