Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The element in period
Concept introduction:
Every element wants to attain an electronic configuration same as noble gas configuration, to do so elements either gain electrons or lose electrons. When an atomof element gains electrons, it forms an anion. When an atom of element loses electrons, it forms a cation.
