Explanation / Answer

losing an s electron? Elements of group I will lose one s electron to obtain octetconfiguration. So the answer is (a) . losing two s electrons? Elements of group II will lose 2 electrons Answer is: (b) . adding an electron to a p orbital? Elements of the 17th group will obtain octet configuration onadding an electron to their p orbitals. Answer is (e) . losing two s electrons and a p electron? Elements of group 13 will lose one p and 2 s electrons toobtain octet configuration. . adding electrons to two p orbitals? adding electrons to two p orbitals? Elements of group 16 will obtain octet configuration by addingtwo electrons. Answer: (d)
