Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Two formulas for arsenic sulfide are to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

In the modern periodic table, the horizontal rows are known as periods, and the vertical columns are known as groups. There are $7$ periods and $18$ groups in the modern periodic table. Elements that belong to the same group tend to exhibit similar chemical properties.
